European equity markets are set for a sharply lower open to start the new trading week and month, with cautious sentiment prevailing. European stocks lagged global peers in November, as concerns mounted that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump might target Europe's economy and companies with tariffs.
Investors will be focused on upcoming manufacturing PMI reports from across the region, along with Italian GDP data. In corporate news, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares abruptly resigned on Sunday, citing "different views" with the board. In pre-market trading, Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 futures were down 0.9% and 0.4%, respectively.
