European equity markets were set for a stronger open on Tuesday, rebounding from the previous session’s losses as investors bought the dip and reassessed the resilience of the global technology- and AI-led rally. At the same time, traders continued to track geopolitical developments in the Middle East after Tehran reportedly halted talks with Washington in response to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, even as President Donald Trump indicated that negotiations were still ongoing.
In Europe, attention will center on the Eurozone’s flash May inflation data, a key gauge for assessing how the Middle East conflict may be feeding through to regional price dynamics. The corporate earnings calendar remains thin, with no major results due from European companies on Tuesday. In premarket action, Euro Stoxx 50 futures were up 0.6%, while Stoxx 600 futures advanced 0.5%.
