Why Europe closed broadly down
Middle East Tensions

Markets fell following renewed escalation in Middle East conflict that clouded peace prospects and raised geopolitical risk.

Tech Pullback

European tech sectors, especially chip-related names, declined sharply after Asia‑US technology stocks paused their rally on weak earnings.

Weak German PMI

Germany’s manufacturing unexpectedly weakened, dragging the DAX lower as investors pared exposure.
