European stocks ended a three-week losing streak, supported by declining oil prices, which boosted the weekly performance of the Stoxx 600 index by 0.5%, the best since early August. The banking and financial services sectors led the gains, with their stocks rising by more than 1%. Airlines also benefited from the drop in oil prices, with Ryanair and Lufthansa shares climbing by over 2%. In contrast, the energy sector experienced the largest decline of 1.3%. Markets remain cautious due to rising bond yields and developments in the Middle East, with the possibility of monetary policy tightening and government bond yields in the Eurozone continuing their upward trend for the seventh week, while oil prices stay near $100 per barrel.
