European stocks, represented by the STOXX 600 index, rose to a one-week high as investors reacted positively to earnings reports from major companies, particularly HSBC and Adidas. The index's gains were supported by a broader trend in the banking sector, although mixed earnings results limited further increases. Investors are also awaiting key economic data and earnings from U.S. tech giants such as Alphabet, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon, which are expected to influence market sentiment. In Asia, stock performance was mixed, with the dollar remaining steady ahead of the upcoming tech earnings and jobs data.
