European stocks rally as China spurs risk appetite: Markets Wrap

European stocks saw gains following a surge in Asian markets after China’s central bank announced a series of stimulus measures to bolster economic growth. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index rose by up to 0.9%, with sectors heavily linked to China such as miners, luxury goods manufacturers, and automakers leading the way. Brent crude surpassed $74 a barrel, iron ore prices rose, and shares of companies like Rio Tinto Plc and BHP Group Ltd. climbed. US equity futures edged higher, while Treasury yields remained stable.

The news of China’s monetary stimulus package on Tuesday, which included reduced reserve requirements for banks and liquidity support for stocks, boosted risk sentiment. This move from Beijing helped alleviate concerns in Europe about slowing economic growth.

“These measures demonstrate that Beijing now recognizes the importance of boosting stock market and housing market sentiment,” said Siguo Chen, portfolio manager at RBC BlueBay Asset Management. “In the short term, it will help the market stabilize, but in the long term, more fiscal support may be necessary.”

China’s stimulus announcement came amid remarks from several Federal Reserve officials suggesting the possibility of further significant rate cuts in the US.

Gold reached a new record of $2,636.16 per ounce during Asian trading hours.

Key events to watch this week include data on US personal spending and the Fed’s preferred price metric, as well as speeches from central bank officials and rate decisions in various countries.
