European Shares Rise on Easing Oil Prices Amid Ongoing Middle East Tensions
European shares rose, ending a three-week decline, supported by easing oil prices amid cautious investor sentiment over Middle East tensions. The STOXX 600 index gained around 0.5% for the week, its largest weekly advance since early August. While hopes for a US-Iran truce helped ease oil prices, concerns persisted due to recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and potential energy supply disruptions. Banking and airline sectors contributed to gains, though rising bond yields and energy cost worries affected consumer sentiment in Germany.
