European STOXX 600 Index Slightly Rises Amid Federal Reserve Rate Cut
The European STOXX 600 index experienced a slight increase, rising by 0.1% on Thursday, following the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates again. This modest gain was supported by advances in the construction and industrial sectors, despite a disappointing performance from Oracle that tested the ongoing AI rally. The Nasdaq futures indicated a potential tech-led decline on Wall Street, falling by 1% after a post-Fed rally. In London, the FTSE 100 index remained just above parity, reflecting a stable market environment.
