European markets experienced growth Tuesday, bolstered by rising confidence despite a quiet trading day in Asia. Several Asian markets were closed due to Lunar New Year celebrations.
In Europe, France's CAC 40 rose by 0.1%, Germany's DAX increased by 0.2%, and Britain's FTSE 100 climbed 0.4%. These gains occurred amid concerns about economic conditions in Asia, particularly Japan, where SoftBank's shares dropped 5.1%, triggering a 0.4% downturn in the Nikkei 225.
While U.S. markets paused for Presidents Day, European investors focused on inflation impacts and substantial AI investments, with global crude oil prices showing mixed signs and the British job market data awaited for further insights.
