European stocks’ 2025 outperformance is over, but don’t forget the euro

European stocks’ 2025 outperformance is over, but don’t forget the euro
SHARE

European stocks have been on the rise in 2025, initially outperforming Wall Street due to unpredictable U.S. policymaking and Germany’s significant fiscal shift. The STOXX 600 index in Europe saw a 6.6% increase compared to a 6.8% rise in the S&P 500 in the U.S. This led many to believe that European markets were finally gaining ground after years of lagging behind Wall Street.

However, as the year progressed, U.S. markets caught up, with tech stocks leading the way. The tech sector in the S&P 500 surged by 24% since April, driven by strong corporate earnings and positive sentiment. Nvidia, the world’s largest company by market cap, saw a remarkable 45% increase, showcasing the dominance of U.S. tech giants.

Despite the rally in U.S. markets, some investors remain cautious, citing stretched valuations and the potential risks associated with high stock prices. European valuations, on the other hand, are considered more reasonable, especially as European companies’ earnings per share start to grow again.

The European stock market has seen significant inflows, particularly in sectors like defense and banking, which have experienced substantial gains this year. However, these sectors make up just 16% of the STOXX 600 index but contribute over 50% to its returns, indicating a lack of broad-based confidence in the European market.

In terms of currencies, the euro has strengthened against the dollar, reaching a near four-year high and approaching the $1.20 mark. This currency appreciation has made European stocks more attractive for U.S. investors while potentially making Wall Street investments pricier for Europeans.

Looking ahead, analysts predict that the euro will continue to strengthen, even if outflows from the U.S. slow down. This currency dynamic could impact equity investors, with European stocks becoming more affordable for U.S. investors while Wall Street assets become relatively more expensive for Europeans.

As the year progresses, the performance of European and U.S. markets will continue to be closely watched, with factors like trade talks, corporate earnings, and economic growth playing a crucial role in shaping investor sentiment on both sides of the Atlantic.
