<\/div>\n

European shares opened mostly higher on Wednesday, led by gains in banks and energy stocks, though advances were tempered by declines in automobile and technology shares. <\/p>\n

The pan-European STOXX 600 rose 0.2% to 570.4 points, while local bourses were mixed, with Italy\u2019s benchmark outperforming with a 0.5% gain.<\/p>\n

The DAX climbed 0.11% at the open, boosted by Siemens Energy, which jumped 1.81%, while the FTSE 100 edged up 0.14% as Fresnillo gained 3.21%. <\/p>\n

The CAC 40 added 0.11%, with ArcelorMittal rising 3.29%, while the Euro Stoxx 50 dipped 0.19%, weighed down by a 3.19% decline in AMSL Holding.<\/p>\n

Investors digested the resignation of French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, fueling calls for President Emmanuel Macron to consider an early presidential election. <\/p>\n

Market participants also awaited a speech by European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n

Banking stocks led gains, up 0.7%, with Lloyds, Societe Generale, and BPER Banca among the top performers. Oil and gas names added 0.4%, tracking higher crude prices.<\/p>\n

Automakers faced headwinds, with BMW shares falling 5.3% after cutting its 2025 earnings forecast due to revised US tariff assumptions and slower growth in China. <\/p>\n

The broader autos index slipped 1.5%, while Mercedes dropped 3.1%. <\/p>\n

Technology stocks fell 1.1%, led by ASML and ASMI, after US lawmakers proposed broader restrictions on chipmaking equipment sales to China.<\/p>\n

Wall Street on Tuesday<\/h2>\n

Stocks retreated on Tuesday, giving back some of the gains from Monday\u2019s record-closing highs. <\/p>\n

The major averages all finished lower, though off their session lows.<\/p>\n

The Nasdaq slid 153.30 points, or 0.7%, to 22,788.36, the S&P 500 fell 25.69 points, or 0.4%, to 6,714.59, and the Dow dipped 91.99 points, or 0.2%, to 46,602.98.<\/p>\n

The pullback appeared partly driven by profit-taking after the S&P 500 posted seven consecutive sessions of gains. <\/p>\n

Shares of Oracle weighed on the broader market<\/a>, falling 2.5% after a report from The Information questioned the profitability of the company\u2019s artificial intelligence initiatives.<\/p>\n

Lingering concerns over the US government shutdown also contributed to selling pressure. <\/p>\n

Lawmakers remain at an impasse on a temporary funding bill.<\/p>\n

The shutdown has delayed key economic releases, including the Labor Department\u2019s closely watched monthly jobs report, originally scheduled for last Friday.<\/p>\n
