European stock markets began Friday’s session on a positive note, carrying forward momentum from a global rally spurred by renewed optimism in technology stocks and tentative hopes surrounding international trade dynamics.

Investors turned their focus to a fresh batch of corporate earnings reports emerging from across the continent.

The pan-European Stoxx 600 index edged higher by 0.2% around 8:15 am in London, setting the stage for a potential fourth consecutive day of gains after accumulating a 2.4% rise earlier in the week.

Regional indices showed a similar, albeit slightly mixed, early picture: Germany’s DAX opened up 0.2% and France’s CAC 40 rose 0.5%, while the UK’s FTSE 100 started flat.

The FTSE notably managed a marginal gain on Thursday, extending its winning streak to an impressive nine straight sessions, its longest positive run since 2019.

This upbeat European start followed strong performances overseas. Wall Street notched its third consecutive day of gains on Thursday, driven significantly by a rebound in technology shares.

Sentiment was further boosted by positive quarterly results from Alphabet (Google’s parent company) after the closing bell, and by a perception that US tariff rhetoric might be softening, alongside reports that China is considering suspending some levies.

US stock futures continued to point higher early Friday.

Asian markets largely mirrored this optimism, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 rising 1.88% and South Korea’s Kospi climbing 1.07%, partly on reports of progress toward a US-South Korea trade agreement.

Australian markets remained closed for a holiday.

Earnings take center stage in Europe

With the global backdrop providing support, attention in Europe shifted squarely to corporate earnings. Early reports brought mixed results.

French aerospace giant Safran saw its shares climb 3.1% after the jet engine maker reported results that surpassed market expectations, providing a boost to the industrial sector.

However, Swedish defence contractor Saab AB experienced a different fate, with its shares declining by 1% after the company missed top-line revenue forecasts, highlighting the company-specific factors influencing trading despite the broader positive mood.

Earnings from other major players were also anticipated throughout the session.

Navigating persistent uncertainty

While the immediate sentiment appeared positive, the underlying context of persistent trade uncertainty lingered.

Investors continue to carefully assess the evolving trade climate and its potential impact on corporate profitability and economic growth, even as markets seize upon signs of potential de-escalation or positive earnings surprises.

The generally positive open suggested that, for now, the momentum from the global rally and specific corporate news were outweighing broader concerns.
