European Equities Vulnerable to Negative Catalysts

Dow Jones

Jul 24

1224 GMT - European equities are exposed to a clutch of possible negative catalysts, Bank of America analysts write. The Europe-wide Stoxx 600 remains close to record highs, while expectations for European companies' margins are at all-time highs, the analysts say. "Much of the good news is already in the price. This leaves the market vulnerable to disappointment," they say. Potential downside risks include wobbles in the AI trade and continued escalation in the Middle East leading to higher energy prices. Moreover, the prospect of a higher interest-rate environment could prompt further European underperformance. The Stoxx 600 rises 0.5% Friday, and is up 8.5% for the year.
