Germany and Spain stock markets are racing towards historical records.

Positive Trend in European Stock Markets

European stock markets are generally displaying a positive trend influenced by optimism towards artificial intelligence and technology companies, as well as rising industrial stocks. This positive atmosphere is particularly notable in countries outside France. Recently, the potential military intervention by the U.S. administration in Venezuela and the ousting of President Nicolas Maduro have brought geopolitical concerns; however, the impact of these developments on the markets remains limited.

Investor Assurance: Artificial Intelligence and Technology

Investors continue to gravitate towards companies in the artificial intelligence sector. One of the most significant factors boosting risk appetite in the markets is the expectation that artificial intelligence companies will increase their investments and grow their profits. The rising demand for data centers and advanced computing needs is leading investors to strengthen their positions in this area.

Historical Levels in German and Spanish Stock Markets

As of 11:10 today, European markets are showing that the Stoxx Europe 600 index is trading at 604 points, reflecting an increase of 0.3%. In Germany, the DAX 40 index has risen by 0.2% to 24,895 points, while the IBEX 35 index in Spain has reached 17,700 points with a gain of 0.5%. Additionally, the FTSE 100 index in the UK has increased by 0.5%, trading at 10,051 points.

Premiums in Advanced Industrial Companies

While a decrease in oil prices is expected, premiums are being observed in the shares of industrial companies. Although geopolitical tensions are keeping the potential risks in the markets limited, the rise in technology and industrial stocks is positively supporting gains in European indices. Today, the inflation data to be released in Germany is also a key focus for investors.

Monitoring Macroeconomic Data

Analysts report that, in addition to geopolitical and political developments, the global service sector and composite Purchasing Managers' Index data will also be closely monitored as the day progresses.
