European stock market rally at the end of the bearish week
The pan-European Stoxx Europe 600 Index rose by around 0.3%. About two hours into the Friday session. However, it is heading into the week with a clear loss after two consecutive gains.
European investors on Thursday were not swept away by the excitement generated by the US company Nvidia. While technology stocks rose, the overall market ended the session with a third consecutive decline and the lowest value for the Stoxx Europe 600 since early April. On Friday, despite the rise in the index, most of the companies included in it became cheaper. The market is still waiting for an increase in the US debt limit and avoiding a crisis that could have a global scale.
