European stock markets showed mostly cautious and mixed performances today.
The STOXX Europe 600 index edged slightly higher by about 0.12%, reaching 574.92 points, bolstered by optimism about a potential U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December. However, volume was low as U.S. markets were closed for Thanksgiving, and some key European indices like the STOXX 50 slipped by around 0.2%. Markets in London, Paris, and Madrid were slightly down, while Frankfurt saw a very modest gain.
The cautious tone followed three days of gains, with investors awaiting further economic data and the forthcoming Fed meeting. Sector movements included gains in defense stocks and a sharp jump in Puma shares due to takeover interest, while pharmaceutical stocks like Novo Nordisk fell. Overall, the day reflected a market pause rather than a clear directional move.

The CAC 40 index closed at 8,099.47 on November 27, up 3.04 points or +0.04% from the previous close of 8,096.43. It traded in a range of 8,080.84 (low) to 8,115.46 (high), with an opening at 8,098.68 amid low U.S. Thanksgiving volumes and broader European caution.

This modest gain extended a recent uptrend, following +0.88% on November 26 and +0.83% on November 25, driven by financials (e.g., AXA, BNP Paribas) and luxury stocks amid U.S. Fed rate cut optimism. Year-to-date, the index remains below its 2025 high of 8,314.23 but above the low of 6,763.76, reflecting resilience despite fiscal debates in France.
