QUIET BLACK FRIDAY
European shares are little changed on Friday, but are still set for their biggest weekly increase in two months and a fifth consecutive monthly gain, supported by rising bets of a U.S. interest rate cut.
Investors refrained from making major bets heading into the weekend, with a holiday-shortened U.S. market session on Friday. An outage at exchange operator CME Group halted trade on its popular currency platform and in futures including stocks, freezing a handful of benchmarks as brokers pulled products.
The pan-European STOXX 600 .STOXX was down 0.1%. It is also set for the longest monthly winning streak since March 2024.
Energy stocks .SXEP were the biggest gainers on the index, up 0.3%, tracking higher oil prices. Travel and leisure .SXTP are the worst performers this morning, down 0.7%.
In corporate news, Delivery Hero DHER.DE shares jumped 8.75% after a report said investors are pushing management to consider a sale of the company or divest parts of the business.
