欧洲股市周五收盘小幅走低，在周三创下数十年新高后的第二个交易日有所回落，因为市场继续评估企业的最新发展和欧洲央行即将降息的幅度。斯托克50指数下跌0.2%，收于5063点，斯托克600指数下跌0.1%，收于523点。理事会成员施纳贝尔表示，央行应该对6月以后的降息持谨慎态度，这与拉脱维亚同行哈萨克人昨天的言论相呼应，并抑制了股票投资者对较低利率的乐观情绪。瑞士历峰集团公布强劲销售额并跃升5.3%，提振泛欧指数后，奢侈品行业成为焦点。尽管如此，来自中国的糟糕零售销售限制了对欧元区基准斯托克50指数的影响，爱马仕上涨0.5%，路威酩轩和开云均录得亏损。与此同时，工业巨头西门子和施耐德均下跌1.5%，Prosus和Adyen下跌3%，给科技股带来压力。

European stocks closed slightly lower on Friday, easing for the second session after Wednesday’s multi-decade highs as markets continued to assess the latest corporate developments and the magnitude of incoming rate cuts by the ECB. The Stoxx 50 dropped 0.2% to close at 5,063 and the Stoxx 600 was trimmed by 0.1% to close at 523. Governing Council member Schnabel said the central bank should be cautious about rate cuts beyond June, echoing her Latvian counterpart Kazaks’s remarks yesterday and dampening equity investor’s optimism over lower interest rates. The luxury sector was in the spotlight after Swiss Richemont reported strong sales and jumped by 5.3%, lifting the pan-European index. Still, poor retail sales from China limited the impact on the Eurozone’s benchmark Stoxx 50, with Hermes adding 0.5% while LVMH and Kering both booked losses. In the meantime, industrial giants Siemens and Schneider both retreated 1.5%, while 3% slides for Prosus and Adyen pressured tech shares.
