European Stocks Set to Jump on Iran De-escalation Optimism
European equity markets were poised for a higher open on Wednesday, following a rally in global markets as risk sentiment improved after US President Donald Trump said military operations in Iran could wrap up within two to three weeks. While the remarks suggest the US may have largely achieved its initial objectives, uncertainty remains over the exact timeline, and the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz keeps geopolitical risks elevated. Since the outbreak of hostilities on February 28, the pan-European Stoxx Europe 600 has declined 8%, in March, marking its biggest monthly drop since 2022. On the economic front, final manufacturing PMI readings are due across the region. In premarket trading, Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 futures were up 2% and 1.6%, respectively.
