European Stocks Set for 5.5% Annual Gain
Tuesday, 31 December 2024 15:55 WIB | MARKET UPDATE |

European markets, including the Stoxx 600, FTSE 100 and CAC 40, traded almost flat on Tuesday ahead of the New Year holiday, reflecting a subdued mood amid political uncertainty and cautious sentiment. Wizz Air bucked the trend, rising on an upbeat growth forecast for 2026. Regional markets are set to close 2024 with modest gains, with the Stoxx 600 up 5.5% for the year.

European equities have lost momentum after hitting a record high in September, weighed down by concerns about U.S. tariffs under President-elect Trump and political instability in France and Germany. The CAC 40 is down 2.5% this year, hampered by a divided French National Assembly and frequent leadership changes, which analysts say could hamper fiscal reform.

Overall, Europe's modest gains lag its historical average, with ongoing risks clouding expectations for a strong start to 2025.
