The European stock market in general experienced a widespread decline, with the STOXX Europe 600 falling nearly 1%. This downturn reflected a broader trend of market caution and investor uncertainty. Germanyโ€™s DAX suffered the most significant loss among the major indices, dropping by 1.80%. The sharp decline was likely driven by sector-wide selloffs, which contributed to the indexโ€™s weak performance.

Franceโ€™s CAC 40 and Spainโ€™s IBEX 35 also recorded notable losses, signaling a broader sentiment of caution among investors. These declines suggest that market participants are growing wary of potential economic challenges and external pressures. The UKโ€™s FTSE 100 experienced a relatively smaller drop of 0.62%. This milder decline may have been supported by the resilience of commodity stocks, which helped cushion the overall market performance. Italyโ€™s FTSE MIB showed the smallest decline at 0.53%, indicating a level of relative stability in the Italian market compared to its European counterparts.
