European Stocks Fall as US Manufacturing Data Weakens

published 10/1/2026 fetched 10/1/2026 history →

European stock markets declined amid lower-than-expected U.S. manufacturing data and higher oil prices above $100 per barrel. Milan’s Borsa dropped around 1.7% with a Btp‑Bund spread exceeding 115 basis points, while broader European indices slipped despite gains on Wall Street. Volatility rose across both American and European government bonds, reflecting market uncertainty.
