The STOXX Europe 600 index has experienced a steep decline, falling 5.2% this week, marking its largest weekly drop since March 2020. This decline follows a broader trend in European markets, which have been under pressure amid rising economic concerns. The index's weekly loss has now reached over 7.6%, reflecting a wave of selling that has wiped out significant value. Concurrently, the U.S. credit risk gauge has surged, indicating heightened concerns over creditworthiness, with the increase being the most substantial since the regional banking crisis. These developments highlight growing instability in both European and U.S. financial markets, compounded by fears of a potential economic downturn.
