欧元/南非兰特 (EURZAR) 加自选

欧洲股市周四早盘上涨，收盘时大幅走高，弥补了本周的跌幅，因为企业受益于欧洲央行即将降息的希望和积极的企业业绩。斯托克50指数上涨0.6%，至4940点，斯托克600指数上涨0.3%，至500点。欧洲央行政策制定者Francois Villeroy de Galhau指出，有必要尽快启动央行的削减周期，以避免落后于通胀曲线，这与拉加德总统此前的言论相呼应，即如果通胀继续收敛至目标，宽松的货币政策将是合适的。得益于瑞士-瑞典ABB强有力的运营指导，工业股领涨，西门子上涨2%，施耐德上涨超过3%。银行股收盘也稳步走高，桑坦德银行股价上涨2.1%，法国巴黎银行、联合信贷和西班牙对外银行股价上涨近2%。与此同时，诺基亚抹去了早期的跌幅，收盘上涨1.6%，尽管其指导意见没有达到预期。

European stocks held early gains to close firmly higher on Thursday, trimming losses from the week as companies benefited from hopes of imminent ECB rate cuts and positive corporate results. The Stoxx 50 added 0.6% to 4,940, while the Stoxx 600 0.3% to 500. ECB policymaker Francois Villeroy de Galhau noted that it will be necessary to start the central bank’s cutting cycle soon in order to avoid falling behind the inflation curve, echoing President Lagarde’s previous comments that looser monetary policy will be appropriate should inflation continue to converge to target. Industrial stocks led the gains, with Siemens adding 2% and Schneider surging over 3%, benefitting from Swiss-Swedish ABB’s strong operations guidance. Banks also closed firmly higher, with Santander jumping by 2.1%, while BNP Paribas, UniCredit, and BBVA added close to 2%. Meanwhile, Nokia erased early losses to close 1.6% higher, despite missing estimates for its guidance.
