European Stocks Dip Amid Geopolitical Uncertainty
Update: 2025-12-16
Description
European stocks opened lower on Tuesday, reversing gains from earlier in the week, as investors watch peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy suggested Kyiv might give up NATO ambitions, while former U.S. President Trump reported progress in talks. The aerospace and defense sector saw significant losses, with Saab, Rheinmetall, and Renk experiencing drops. Investors await central bank decisions this week, with the ECB expected to keep rates at 2% but potentially raise growth forecasts. The Bank of England, Riksbank, and Norges Bank will also make decisions, and the UKs unemployment rate rose to 5.1% in October, increasing expectations of a rate cut.
