Europe outperforms U.S. in October as UK, France and Spain lift returns: Barclays By Investing.com
Update: 2025-11-03
Description
European stocks outshone US counterparts in October, despite global market uncertainties, driven by robust third-quarter earnings and increased investor demand. Germany underperformed due to stimulus fatigue, AI concerns, and weak car maker earnings, while the UK benefited from strong commodity sector results. Bonds and gold remained steady, oil prices fluctuated, and bitcoin was the worst performer among cryptocurrencies. Emerging markets, particularly Korea, and Japan's stocks surged, with improved investor sentiment leading to increased European stock purchases by US investors. Technology, utilities, and healthcare sectors led the gains, while financials and energy stocks lagged.
