Europe markets open: stocks rally as Trump’s ceasefire post calms nerves

European stock markets surged at Tuesday’s open, with investors embracing a significant relief rally fueled by an announcement from US President Donald Trump of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Travel and leisure stocks led the charge as the apparent de-escalation of the Middle East conflict boosted risk appetite across the continent.

About 20 minutes into the trading session, the pan-European Stoxx 600 index was up by a strong 1.2%. The optimism was widespread, with all major bourses firmly in positive territory.

Germany’s DAX index jumped an impressive 1.8%, leading the gains.

The rally was particularly pronounced in sectors most sensitive to geopolitical stability, with the Stoxx Travel and Leisure index soaring 4.2%, putting it on track for its biggest one-day jump since April 10.

This market buoyancy is a direct reaction to President Trump’s declaration on his Truth Social platform, which offered the prospect of an end to the recent hostilities.

Trump wrote:

It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE … for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!

The announcement came shortly after Iranian state media reported that Tehran had launched its “last round” of missiles at Israel, and crucially, had refrained from targeting the vital Strait of Hormuz, a move that helped alleviate fears of broader disruptions to global oil supply.

This development prompted a wave of positive sentiment that began with a rise in US stock futures and Asia-Pacific markets on Monday night.

However, it is important to note that as of Tuesday morning, neither Iran nor Israel has publicly confirmed acceptance of the ceasefire timeline announced by President Trump, adding a layer of caution to the otherwise bullish mood.

Attention shifts to diplomacy and economic data

With geopolitical tensions seemingly easing, investor attention in Europe is now turning to other significant events.

The NATO summit kicks off today in The Hague, where leaders are expected to discuss security priorities in the wake of the recent global tensions.

On the economic front, traders will be closely watching Germany’s Ifo Business Climate report for June.

This key survey will provide valuable insights into the health and sentiment within Europe’s largest economy, offering important clues about its near-term trajectory.

Movers and shakers

While Tuesday’s open was strong, it marked a sharp reversal from Monday’s session, when the pan-European Stoxx 600 began the week with a 0.3% decline.

Looking at Monday’s individual stock movements, some of the worst performers included Poste Italiane, which closed 6.3% lower, Danish jewelry maker Pandora, which shed 5.3%, and pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk, which also lost 5.3%.

Novo Nordisk’s drop followed the announcement that it had terminated its deal with US telehealth firm Hims & Hers over concerns about the sale of Wegovy copycat drugs.

In stark contrast, London-listed shares of Spectris, a maker of testing equipment, jumped an impressive 15.7% on Monday.

The surge came after it was reported that private equity firm Advent had agreed to acquire the company for £4.4 billion ($6 billion).

This development came after Spectris had rejected a bid from private equity giant KKR earlier in the month. Signaling a potential bidding war, KKR stated on Monday that it “strongly encourages [Spectris] shareholders to take no action with regards to the Advent offer.”
