欧洲股市周二表现疲软，因疲弱的盈利报告限制了对股票的需求，而市场正在评估和等待一批关键经济数据。斯托克50指数在没有重大变化的情况下徘徊，将昨日的跌幅保持在4980点，而泛欧斯托克也坚守阵地，将前一交易日的涨幅保持在510点。汽车行业因欧元区蓝筹股指数而备受关注，梅赛德斯在公布年度利润下降30%后下跌2.7%，而大众在公布类似的年度营业利润下降20%后下跌2.2%。另一方面，金融部门录得稳健的涨幅，避免了交易日出现负值，法国巴黎银行和安盛银行均上涨近1.5%，尽管桑坦德银行公布了更强劲的利润，但仍下跌了1%，这与竞争对手西班牙对外银行昨天的发展一致。在数据方面，法国和西班牙的GDP以及德国的零售额在欧元区通胀和GDP公布之前出现了上涨，这让人感到惊讶。

European stocks were muted on Tuesday as lackluster earnings reports limited demand for equities, while markets assessed and awaited a batch of key economic data. The Stoxx 50 hovered without major changes and held yesterday’s losses at the 4,980 mark, while the pan-European Stoxx also held its ground and maintained the gain in the prior session at 510. The auto sector took the spotlight for the Eurozone’s blue-chip index, with Mercedes sinking 2.7% after posting a 30% drop in annual profit, while Volkswagen dropped 2.2% after posting a similar 20% decline in annual operating profit. On the other hand, the financial sector booked solid gains and prevented a negative session, with BNP Paribas and AXA both adding close to 1.5%, although Santander sank 1% despite posting stronger profit, in line with rival BBVA’s developments yesterday. On the data front, French and Spanish GDPs and German retail sales surprised on the upside ahead of the currency bloc's inflation and GDP print.
