European markets rise despite stagflation fears

European markets achieved strong performance in 2026, surpassing expectations of a stagflationary recession due to geopolitical tensions. The STOXX Europe 600 index increased by 12%, with Germany, Italy, and France reaching historic highs. Company profits in Europe rose by 17% in the second quarter, particularly in the mining and industrial sectors, supported by robust inflows from foreign investors attracted by the relative appeal of European bonds compared to U.S. bonds. The euro appreciated to nearly its highest level in two months, driven by expectations of continued demand for European assets amid projected moderate economic growth of 0.8% in 2026 and 1.2% in 2027.
