European stocks resumed their decline after two days of gains, under pressure from mixed earnings reports and uncertainty about the economic development of the United States. The iShares STOXX Europe 600 index fell 0.9%, rolling back from last Wednesday, which was the best day for the index since November. Real estate and technology stocks were under the most pressure, while telecommunications stocks rose slightly. Siemens AG lost ground after forecasting revenue and profit growth below expectations, Zurich Insurance Group AG declined due to increased losses in the property insurance division. Among the leaders of the day were Enter PLC, which raised its forecast for the full year, and Allianz SE, which posted higher profit figures. The beginning of August was unstable for European stocks due to concerns about the recession in the United States. Despite this, the overall picture of profit reporting looks relatively optimistic: earnings per share growth for the MSCI Europe index is 2.4%, higher than the forecast of 0.4%. Despite the fact that experts do not expect sharp drops in the market, they advise investors to be careful due to geopolitical instability. Technical analysis indicates the possibility of short-term growth in European stocks, but trading will remain volatile until economic data signals a "soft landing" of the US economy.
