European stock markets closed flat on Tuesday. The STOXX 600 index edged 0.29% higher, while the STOXX 50 raised 0.08%—persistent concerns about the economic outlook continued to weigh on investor sentiment.
Economic data released on the day painted a mixed picture. German factory orders unexpectedly rose 3.9% in June, significantly surpassing market forecasts of a 0.8% increase. The development sparked optimism for the struggling manufacturing industry. However, Euro Area retail sales fell 0.3% month-over-month in June, disappointing analysts who had expected a milder 0.1% decrease. This decline contrasted with the 0.1% increase observed in May.
Financial stocks led the losses, with several major banks experiencing declines. BNP Paribas, UniCredit, Intesa Sanpaolo, and Deutsche Boerse saw their shares drop more than 1.3% each. Bayer was another significant decliner, plunging around 6% after reporting a sharp decline in quarterly earnings for the three-month period ending in June.
On a positive note, some tech and industrial stocks showed strength. ASML added nearly 4.6%, recovering from its recent selloff, while Airbus and SAP each advanced more than 2%. These movements reflect the complex and sometimes contradictory factors influencing European markets as they navigate economic uncertainties.
