European stocks trade in tight ranges; U.K. GDP grew 0.3% in Q2 Investing.com - European stocks traded in a muted fashion Thursday as investors digested more corporate earnings as well as regional growth data, ahead of the release of key U.S. inflation data later in the session. At 03:05 ET (07:05 GMT), the DAX index in Germany climbed 0.1%, the CAC 40 in France gained 0.2%, while the FTSE 100 in the U.K. dropped 0.2%. Looking for European growth European investors have taken a pause for breath Thursday, after recent gains, as they focused on a swathe of economic data that will offer a glimpse of the strength of the regional economy after a bout of extreme uncertainty in the wake of the Trump administration’s volatile trade policies. Data released earlier in the session showed that Britain’s economy grew by a faster-than-expected 0.3% in the second quarter of 2025, but this still represented a slowdown from the growth of 0.7% in the first three months of the year. The Bank of England had forecast 0.1% growth in gross domestic product for the April-June period. British GDP rose by 0.4% in June alone, a stronger expansion than the 0.1% forecast, after a fall in output in both May and April. Second-quarter growth figures for the eurozone are due for release later in the session, and are expected to show meager 0.1% growth in the second quarter, a hefty slowdown from the 0.6% growth seen in the first three months of the year. Also of interest will be the release of the U.S. producer prices for July after mild consumer prices, reported earlier in the week, raised expectations of a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve.. Carlsberg warns of difficult environment There are more corporate results to digest Thursday. Carlsberg (CSE:CARLb), the third largest brewer in the world, missed half-year profit and volume forecasts, warning it does not expect any improvement in the consumer environment for the rest of 2025. German energy giant RWE (ETR:RWEG) reported disappointing first-half 2025 earnings, with weaker wind speeds and challenging energy trading conditions weighing. Antofagasta (LON:ANTO) posted a nearly 60% increase in half-year core earnings on Thursday, with the London-based Chilean miner benefiting from higher production and sales of its copper. Swiss Re (SIX:SRENH) beat expectations for its net income for the first half of 2025, with the reinsurer saying its results were supported by lower catastrophe claims, stronger underwriting margins and higher investment income. Lanxess (ETR:LXSG) cut its full-year profit outlook, with the German speciality chemicals maker citing weak demand and warning of no recovery in the economic environment for the rest of the year. German container shipping company Hapag Lloyd (ETR:HLAG) posted a 3.1% decline in its first-half net income and brought down the top of its full-year earnings forecast range, citing geopolitical uncertainty. Crude bounces after weakness Oil prices edged higher, bouncing from the previous session’s weakness ahead of Friday’s meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. At 03:05 ET, Brent futures climbed 0.7% to $66.06 a barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 0.7% to $63.06 a barrel. Both contracts hit their lowest in two months on Wednesday after official data showed U.S. crude inventories in the United States unexpectedly rose by 3 million barrels, creating worries over demand in the world’s largest consumer as the important summer driving season draws to a close. However, traders are also focusing on the meeting in Alaska between the two presidents to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine which has raged since February 2022 and disrupted the oil markets. Trump on Wednesday threatened "severe consequences" if Putin does not agree to peace in Ukraine. Trump did not specify what the consequences could be, but he has previously warned of economic sanctions.

UK Q2 GDP data coming up, set to reflect a considerable slowdown from Q1 While the UK government was quick to take the plaudits for the Q1 showing (+0.7% q/q), let's not forget that it has a lot to do with a surge in exports amid a frontloading of shipments before Trump's initial reciprocal tariffs struck. As such, we are to see that effect reverse in Q2 alongside softer conditions on the manufacturing side at the balance. The estimate is that we should see Q2 GDP still reflect marginal growth of +0.1% q/q. However, it won't be anything for the UK government to shout about. And for the BOE, that will reinforce their more cautious stance in easing monetary policy as they still have to keep one eye on the inflation meter. Among analyst estimates, Barclays is expecting a +0.2% q/q reading (backed by a +0.2% m/m showing in June) provided that there are no revisions to the readings in the months before. The firm notes that the better showing in Q1 owes much to temporary factors, "including US demand frontloading and the April stamp duty change". Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley is estimating the headline estimate to flatline at 0.0% q/q. The firm does note that there is modest upside risk of a +0.1% q/q reading though but assumes a slight downward revision to May data and a moderate pickup in June activity.

Tesco (OTC:TSCDY) reports Q1 sales growth Tesco PLC (LON:TSCO) posted a 5.5% rise in group like-for-like sales for the first quarter of its 2025-26 fiscal year, driven by solid performance across its businesses in the U.K., Republic of Ireland, Booker, and Central Europe.

European stocks edge higher as volatile week ends; U.K. GDP rose 0.5% in February Investing.com - European equity indices edged higher Friday at the end of a volatile week, amid a great deal of uncertainty over the state of the global economy given a heated trade war between the U.S. and China. At 03:05 ET (07:05 GMT), the DAX index in Germany climbed 1%, the CAC 40 in France gained 1% and the FTSE 100 in the U.K. rose 0.6%. The pan-Europe Stoxx 600 index gained 0.7%. Pronounced trade uncertainty Fears of a sharp downturn in the global economy hit European stock markets hard at the beginning of the week, to be followed by a brief relief rally after U.S. President Donald Trump paused the majority of his tariff threats. The regional Stoxx 600 index had closed 3.7% higher Thursday, marking its best day in three years, as markets sought to recover losses sustained in the previous sessions. However, trade policy uncertainty persisted, with the U.S. and China imposing higher and higher tariffs on each other throughout the week - with the White House on Thursday signalling that the cumulative tariff rate on China now would effectively total 145%. Indeed, French President Emmanuel Macron said earlier Friday that Trump’s decision this week for a 90-day suspension on tariffs he had imposed on countries gave room for only a ’fragile pause’. U.K. economy grew strongly in February There was some positive economic news for investors to digest Friday, after data showed that Britain’s economy grew at a faster rate than expected in February. Gross domestic product grew by 0.5% on the month in February, well above the expected expansion of 0.1%, while the economy grew by 1.4% compared to a year earlier, according to data from the Office for National Statistics. Elsewhere, German inflation eased to 2.3% in March, the federal statistics office said on Friday, confirming preliminary data and suggesting that inflationary pressures from the eurozone’s largest economy remain subdued. Stellantis Q1 shipments take a hit In corporate news, auto giant Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) said its first-quarter shipments were down 9% compared to last year, to an estimated 1.2 million vehicles. Stellantis said the drop primarily reflected lower North American production due to extended holiday downtime in January, as well as product transition and lower light commercial vehicle sales in Europe. Fraport (ETR:FRAG) saw flat passenger growth in March 2025, with travel disrupted by a strike that affected about 140,000 passengers. The airport handled around 4.6 million passengers during the month, a marginal increase of 0.3% from the previous year. A lot of attention will also be on the start of the U.S. earnings season, with the likes of JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Citigroup (NYSE:C) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) set to release their results later in the session. Investors’ focus will likely shift from profits to bank bosses’ remarks on the economy given the uncertainty generated by President Trump’s tariffs policy. Crude set for another losing week Oil prices edged higher Friday, but were on course for a second consecutive losing week on concerns the escalating trade war between the U.S. and China, the two largest economies in the world, will hit economic activity and thus demand for crude. At 03:05 ET, Brent futures climbed 1% to $63.95 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 1% to $60.69 a barrel. Both benchmark contracts are set to drop around 4% this week, adding to their 11% falls in the prior week. Earlier this week President Trump postponed plans to impose reciprocal tariffs against most countries by 90 days, but he still proceeded with increased tariffs on China. U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods now stand at 145%. Beijing decried the move, retaliating with its own tariffs earlier this week, while also vowing to “fight to the end.” Traders feared that a significant U.S.-China trade war will hurt oil demand, especially given that China, the world’s biggest oil importer, faces steep trade tariffs.
