European equity markets were set to open broadly flat on Tuesday, as investors continued to evaluate the implications of the initial US-China trade agreement, with uncertainty lingering over developments beyond the 90-day tariff pause.
Attention will also turn to a series of key economic indicators, including Germany’s ZEW survey of economic sentiment and the latest UK retail sales and unemployment figures, which may offer further insight into the region’s economic trajectory.
On the corporate front, earnings reports are expected from major firms including Munich Re, Bayer, and Ferrovial.
In premarket trade, both Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 futures hovered near the flatline, signaling a tentative start to the session.
