Frankfurt's DAX 40 rose 0.5% to surpass 25,800 on Thursday, its highest since early September, marking the fourth straight session of advances. Investors remained focused on corporate earnings ahead of the ECB's monetary policy decision later in the day. The ECB is widely expected to maintain its key interest rate at current levels today, following a similar move by the US Federal Reserve. Among top movers, Adidas rose 3.7% after reporting record profits and raising its full-year outlook. Airbus gained as much as 3.2% after keeping full-year forecasts and production plans and reporting mixed quarterly earnings.

The US PCE price index is expected to increase 0.5% month-over-month in September 2026, which would mark the biggest gain in six months, following a 0.3% rise in August. The core PCE price index, which excludes food and energy, is projected to rise 0.3%, the most in four months after a 0.2% gain. On an annual basis, headline PCE inflation is expected to accelerate to 3.6% from 3.4% in each of the previous two months and the core rate is also seen edging up to 3.1% from 3%. The personal consumption expenditures price index is the primary inflation gauge for the Fed and has been above the 2% target since 2021.

US PCE Inflation Expected to Accelerate

The CAC 40 rose 0.9% to 7,954 on Thursday, hitting its highest level in nearly two weeks as investors awaited the European Central Bank’s monetary policy decision later in the day. The central bank is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged following its 25 bps hike in September, while investors look for guidance on the policy outlook. Attention is also focused on President Christine Lagarde’s comments on France’s bond market turmoil, as the country faces mounting pressure in debt markets. Meanwhile, investors welcomed a fresh batch of corporate earnings. Renault climbed nearly 4% after reporting resilient Q3 revenue, driven by a surge in electric vehicle sales. TotalEnergies also gained 0.9% after beating Q3 earnings expectations, supported by higher oil prices as the war in the Middle East continued to disrupt energy markets. In contrast, STMicroelectronics fell 1.2%, tracking broader weakness across the technology sector.
