European markets staged a strong recovery on Monday, with widespread gains across the region as investors welcomed the reprieve from US tariff threats and positive developments in key sectors. The pan-European EU50 index surged 1.43% to 5,405.6, while Germany’s DE40 jumped 1.70% to 24,050.3, reflecting renewed optimism following President Trump’s decision to extend the EU tariff deadline to July 9.
The rally was broad-based, with Austria’s AUT20 leading gains with a 1.89% surge to 4,370, while the Netherlands’ NED25 climbed 1.08% to 929.25. France’s FRA40 advanced 1.43% to 7,813.4, and Italy’s ITA40 rose 1.28% to 40,010, as European automaker stocks rallied on the tariff news with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, and Stellantis all posting solid gains.
Switzerland’s SUI20 added 0.70% to 12,301, while Spain’s SPA35 continued its positive momentum with a 0.86% gain to 14,254. Poland’s W20 extended gains with a 1.80% jump to 2,769.6.
Notably, the VSTOXX volatility index plunged 7.07% to 19.73, signaling reduced market anxiety as the immediate tariff threat was postponed, though it remains elevated compared to recent lows, suggesting investors are still cautious about the ongoing US-EU trade negotiations.

The German DE40 Index is retesting its previous high after making ATH yesterday, yet it remains above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level and the 50-day SMA—both acting as key support zones. Bulls will look to maintain momentum above recent highs to confirm the breakout, while bears may attempt to drive the index below those levels, with the 50-day SMA as a near-term target. The RSI is easing just below overbought territory, indicating a potential cooldown in bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the MACD is beginning to narrow, signaling caution as buying pressure may be losing steam. Source: xStation
