European stocks set for a softer final day of the year

  
Analysis, Global Indices

But it has been a standout year in terms of overall performance

  • Eurostoxx futures -1.2%
  • French CAC 40 futures flat
  • UK FTSE futures -0.3%
Some hints of profit-taking perhaps amid thin liquidity conditions but there isn’t anything too major when you weigh it against the trading performance over the course of the year.
Despite the economic slowdown this year and some hiccups on trade and politics, European equities have largely weathered the storm to post one of the better years with the help of the ECB adding stimulus. Here’s the year-to-date performance:
  • Eurostoxx +24.9%
  • Germany DAX +25.5%
  • France CAC 40 +26.5%
  • UK FTSE +12.8%
  • Spain IBEX +12.6%
  • Italy MIB +28.3%
