European stocks close mixed ahead of Trump-Ukraine crunch talks
Monday, 18 August 2025 23:47 WIB | MARKET UPDATE |EUROPE

European stocks had a mixed session on Monday as traders monitored corporate updates and a meeting between regional leaders and U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss Ukraine.

The pan-European Stoxx 600 index provisionally closed fractionally above the flatline. Health-care stocks led gains, up 1.4%, as Novo Nordisk shares climbed 6.6%.The Danish pharmaceutical giant's blockbuster weight-loss drug Wegovy won regulatory approval in the United States to treat a serious liver disease.

European leaders, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, are traveling with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Washington to meet Trump at the White House to discuss a peace deal.

Zelenskyy is likely to come under pressure to enter a deal. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the president could "end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight." The meeting follows Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Friday, but the talks concluded without a ceasefire.
