European equities dip as Iran peace talks loom and oil climbs
TL;DR Summary
European stocks slid about 0.5% as investors weighed signals on a potential Iran war peace deal, with mixed indications from U.S.–Iran talks and fresh strikes in Iran. Oil prices rose on tensions. Defense shares led gains after Ukraine ratified a 90‑billion‑euro EU loan and reports of a possible Saab Gripen jet deal, with Saab, Renk, Exail Technologies and Rheinmetall among movers. U.S. stock futures were little changed ahead of the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge (PCE) data.
