European stocks end higher as Stoxx 600 rises 0.58% on earnings and softer UK inflation
European equities finished higher as stronger-than-expected earnings and softer UK inflation supported risk appetite, outweighing concerns tied to escalating US-Iran tensions and firmer oil prices. The Stoxx 600 rose 0.58% with broad-based gains, aided by upbeat guidance and capital return actions (e.g., Airbus buyback, raised outlooks). Higher crude reflects geopolitical risk but did not derail the session's pro-cyclical tone.

European shares rose on Wednesday, with the Stoxx 600 up 0.58%, as weaker-than-expected UK inflation data and a run of upbeat corporate earnings lifted sentiment. The UK’s FTSE 100 gained 1.24%, while Germany’s DAX rose 0.58% and France’s CAC 40 added 0.89%. Oil prices climbed amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, but the move did not derail broader gains. Airbus, Gea Group and Fresnillo were among the stocks supported by company updates and results.
