European Shares Mixed as SAP Boosts Tech and Oil Prices Impact Energy Stocks
European shares showed mixed movements amid rising oil prices and Middle East tensions. Germany's DAX index gained notably, supported by strong cloud backlog growth reported by software firm SAP. While technology stocks recovered some losses, energy shares declined due to Finnish refiner Neste's profit falling short of expectations. Investors remained cautious, balancing corporate earnings with concerns over inflation and potential interest rate hikes, resulting in modest overall market fluctuations across the region.
