European equity markets were poised for a higher opening on Friday, anticipating a technical rebound amid ongoing investor scrutiny of escalating tensions in the Middle East and the possibility of U.S. intervention. Reports suggest President Donald Trump has offered Iran a final opportunity to negotiate its nuclear program, with potential military action postponed for up to two weeks. Concurrently, investors are evaluating a week filled with significant central bank activities. The Bank of England maintained its interest rates, while the Swiss National Bank reduced its policy rate to 0%. Prior to the market opening, Euro Stoxx 50 futures advanced by 1.2%, and Stoxx 600 futures increased by 0.7%.
