Review
European equities moved higher in May, with defence names leading the way amid faltering hopes of a ceasefire in Ukraine. Having sold off sharply mid-month after President Donald Trump threatened to slap 50% tariffs on all of the bloc’s exports to the US from 1 June, European markets rebounded on news that Trump had delayed implementation until 9 July to allow more time for negotiations. At a sector level, information technology and industrials stocks were the strongest performers amid a slew of positive earnings releases. Health care stocks brought up the rear, but still managed a modest positive return during the month.
