European stocks fall as oil tops $100
European stocks generally declined amid anticipation of U.S. inflation data, despite oil prices rising past $100 per barrel due to tensions in the Middle East and increasing inflation concerns. The rise in Brent crude prices has sparked fears of renewed inflation, which could lead central banks to continue tightening monetary policies, with the European Central Bank expected to raise interest rates tomorrow, Thursday. Additionally, some stocks, such as Auto1 Group, experienced declines following the resignation of their CFO, while the energy sector saw a near 1% increase.
