European equity close: A good start to the week | Forexlive

Buying European stocks has been the trade of the year so far in 2023 and that continued to start the week:

• Stoxx 600 +0.3%
• German DAX +0.5%
• French CAC +0.3%
• UK FTSE 100 -0.2%
• Italy MIB +0.4%
• Spain IBEX +0.5%

I’m not sure I can remember such a long period of European equity outperformance in what is otherwise a volatile market.
