European Stocks Rise Ahead of US Consumer Price Index and ECB Decision
European stocks experienced a 0.8% increase on September 9, as traders shifted their focus to the upcoming US Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the European Central Bank’s (ECB) monetary policy decision.
The travel and leisure sector, along with chemical stocks, were among the biggest gainers of the day. Conversely, real estate shares experienced a decline. French luxury goods manufacturer Kering saw its stock plummet to a seven-year low, largely due to concerns about Chinese demand impacting its sales.
