Synopsis
European equity markets set to open firmly higher, as markets welcome signs US Senate nearing deal to end government shutdown.
Meanwhile, Asia equities higher Monday. South Korea stocks leading the region on several supportive domestic developments for the stock market. In economic developments, China consumer prices unexpectedly rose with food price declines narrowing. Core inflation logged fasted growth since Mar-2024 amid holiday-driven demand.
Recall last week, European markets closed lower for the second straight week, with the Stoxx 600 down (1.24%) to its lowest closing price since mid-October, reflecting persistent headwinds despite pockets of resilience. AI-linked industrials led the decline as concerns over monetization of the technology and circular spending within the industry has dampened enthusiasm, despite analysts suggesting data-center capex remains on track for high-teens growth through 2026. Autos & Parts bucked the trend, closing up 2.6% for the week, buoyed by the Netherlands' de-escalation in the Nexperia chip dispute
