European stocks fall as rate hike expectations ease

European stocks temporarily retreated after the release of the U.S. Producer Price Index report, which came in lower than expected. This bolsters expectations that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady at its upcoming meeting. The data showed a slowdown in producer price inflation on both monthly and annual levels, reducing inflation pressures and easing the likelihood of rate hikes. Meanwhile, stock performance was modestly limited, with the "Stoxx 600" index remaining near its all-time highs. Additionally, positive economic data from Britain, oil prices above $80, and the mixed earnings reports of major companies continue to support the market, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions between Washington and Tehran and their impact on metal and energy prices.
