European markets showed modest gains on Friday, with Frankfurt’s DAX rising by 0.3%. The increase followed stronger-than-expected growth in German factory orders for October. Meanwhile, Philips shares recovered after a steep drop earlier in the week.
Philips stock climbed 0.9% on Friday, bouncing back from a sharp decline the day before. The earlier fall had been triggered by a Citi analyst report warning of potential challenges from trade tariffs and a weakening Chinese market. Despite the caution, the company reaffirmed that its 2026 forecasts remain on schedule for release in February.
Elsewhere, markets in Paris and London edged up by 0.2%. The broader Dutch market also saw gains, with the AEX index rising 0.2% and the MidKap advancing 0.6%. Investors, however, are approaching the new year with renewed caution, keeping a close watch on global trade tensions and China’s economic outlook.
The modest gains across European indices reflect a mixed but cautiously optimistic sentiment. Philips’ recovery and the steady performance of major markets suggest resilience, though concerns over trade and China’s economy remain key factors for investors.
