European shares gained 0.7% on Thursday, overcoming Wall Street's disappointment with Nvidia's results. Soft German and Spanish inflation data influenced bond yields and the euro to fall. Despite Nvidia forecasting $32.5 billion in third-quarter revenue, investors were unimpressed with the tech giant's performance.
Banks expect a high opening for Wall Street, with many other market factors under scrutiny. German 10-year Bund yields and the euro fell as inflation data from Germany and Spain showed declines. Notably, Spain's annual inflation hit a year-low at 2.4%, affecting market movements significantly.
Asian markets experienced a rough session, with major tech stocks like South Korea's and Taiwan's falling. China attempted economic stabilization through bond buy-ups amidst frail recovery signs. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions and central bank updates continue to impact global market sentiment.
