European and American stock touch record figures due to global recovery

European stocks are trying to retain the momentum in November 2021 which is obtained from strong earnings in October 2021. The European stocks managed to touch record figures due to expectation of interest rate hikes, which in turn is supporting bank stocks. The pan-European STOXX 600 jumped to a record position of 478.87 points after making a gain of 0.7%. It was boosted by a leap in bank stocks by 1.4%.

The banking sector is delivering its best performance in the last two years.

The STOXX 600 performed impressively in October registering growth of 4.6%. The latest data clearly projects that the third quarter earnings of STOXX 600 is expected to make a gain of 52% when compared with last year. The smart investors even look for signals emerging from the US Federal Reserve. They are concerned about the tapering of stimulus measures that were taken during the pandemic.
