Why Europe closed broadly up
US Jobs

European equities rallied following softer-than-expected U.S. payrolls, easing Fed rate-hike fears and boosting risk appetite.

Oil Drop

Falling oil prices, tied to hopes for Iran–U.S. diplomatic progress, lifted energy‑sensitive stocks across Europe, especially the DAX.

Defensives Gain

Defensive sectors such as food, healthcare, and household goods outperformed as investors shifted away from weak AI‑tech names.
