European stocks fall after four-week rise

European stocks ended a four-week rally, influenced by falling crude oil prices and escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly between Iran and the United States. The Stoxx 600 index closed down by 0.2% at 657.86, with a weekly decline of 0.3%. Nonetheless, company profits are expected to grow by 23.4% in the second quarter, driven by strong performance in the energy and materials sectors, thanks to improved efficiency and corporate earnings growth. European companies remain robust despite challenges, with shares of major firms like Maersk and Nidec rising, although the healthcare sector experienced declines due to a drop in Zeland Pharma's stock.
