European stock markets were headed for a muted open Wednesday, as investors brace themselves for another slew of earnings along with euro zone economic growth data.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Stoxx 600<\/a>\u00a0index notched a sixth straight positive session on Tuesday, extending its longest winning streak since January. The U.K.’s FTSE 100<\/a> meanwhile closed higher for a 12th session, marking its best run since 2017.<\/p>\n Corporate results will be back in focus, with Airbus<\/a>, Mercedes<\/a>, TotalEnergies<\/a>, Stellantis<\/a>, Barclays<\/a>, GSK<\/a>, Volkswagen<\/a> and Societe Generale<\/a> among those reporting. <\/p>\n U.S. tariffs have unsurprisingly emerged as a key theme<\/a> in early reports, with many companies citing the difficulty of forecasting, while bank profits beat estimates. Swiss lender UBS<\/a> continued the trend on Wednesday, reporting better-than-expected net profit<\/a> of $1.692 billion in the first quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"European stock markets were headed for a muted open Wednesday, as investors brace themselves for another slew of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62105,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[30890,11657,30888,31988,20935,5189,3085,7426,30887,7425,15345,29933,30889,3686,32,2000,299,5187,36,1880,15158,1824,31990,29934,2199,31992,15251,30892,30893,29936,29935,12738,31989,30886,7687,5191,31991,13733,49,15344,30891,31987],"class_list":{"0":"post-62104","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-adidas-ag","9":"tag-airbus-se","10":"tag-astrazeneca-plc","11":"tag-barclays-plc","12":"tag-bp-plc","13":"tag-breaking-news-europe","14":"tag-business-news","15":"tag-cac-40-index","16":"tag-carlsberg-a-s","17":"tag-dax","18":"tag-deutsche-bank-ag","19":"tag-deutsche-boerse-ag","20":"tag-deutsche-lufthansa-ag","21":"tag-donald-j-trump","22":"tag-donald-trump","23":"tag-eu","24":"tag-europe","25":"tag-european","26":"tag-france","27":"tag-ftse-100","28":"tag-ftse-mib","29":"tag-germany","30":"tag-gsk-plc","31":"tag-hsbc-holdings-plc","32":"tag-italy","33":"tag-mercedes-benz-group-ag","34":"tag-meta-platforms-inc","35":"tag-novartis-ag","36":"tag-porsche-ag","37":"tag-porsche-automobil-holding-se","38":"tag-schneider-electric-se","39":"tag-shell-plc","40":"tag-societe-generale-sa","41":"tag-spirit-aerosystems-holdings-inc","42":"tag-stellantis-nv","43":"tag-stoxx-600","44":"tag-totalenergies-se","45":"tag-ubs-group-ag","46":"tag-united-states","47":"tag-volkswagen-ag","48":"tag-volvo-ab","49":"tag-volvo-car-ab"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
