It has been a struggle lately for European equity markets but this is a major change in fortunes as the market jumps on the idea of a peak in rates.

Closing changes:

  • Stoxx 600 +2.0%
  • German DAX +1.9%
  • UK FTSE 100 +1.9%
  • French CAC +2.0%
  • Italy MIB +2.4%
  • Spain IBEX +2.3%

This looks like an emphatic rejection of the breakdown in the STOXX 600.
