European equities steady as Fed decision and geopolitical risks dominate focus

18th Jun 25 1:01 pm

European equity markets opened cautiously on Wednesday, stabilizing after Tuesdayโ€™s losses as investors weighed geopolitical developments and awaited the Federal Reserveโ€™s rate decision.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran remained a major source of concern, with President Trump intensifying rhetoric by calling for Tehranโ€™s โ€œunconditional surrenderโ€ and considering direct action against the Iranian leadership.

Regionally, focus turned to UK inflation data, which showed a slight deceleration in May, broadly in line with expectations. The release provided some relief for the Bank of England and could support broader European risk sentiment, especially in rate-sensitive sectors.

Looking ahead, the outcome of the Federal Reserveโ€™s meeting will be pivotal for global risk assets. While no change in rates is anticipated, Chair Powellโ€™s tone and the updated Summary of Economic Projections could shape market sentiment and influence European equities.
