Europe Advances Cautiously, ECB and Fed at the Center of Attention

The EuroStoxx 50, Stoxx 600, and major national indices are trading in the green, with basic resources leading the sectors, according to early session reports. On the calendar, the European Central Bank (ECB) is holding its monetary policy meeting on September 10-11, 2025, followed by a press conference on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will meet on September 16-17, 2025 (FOMC). These events frame expectations for interest rate cuts, which are supporting market sentiment. In the background, the CAC 40 is up 0.65% at 7,784.22 points around 07:25 GMT, remaining resilient despite the outcome of the confidence vote in France, an event that investors have largely priced in this morning. In London, the FTSE 100 is up 0.14%. In Frankfurt, the DAX has gained 0.15%.
