European stock markets are predicted to see a slight increase by the end of 2025, followed by significant growth in 2026. This optimistic outlook is fueled by expectations of monetary easing and increased fiscal spending. However, ongoing trade tensions and tariff uncertainties are tempering expectations for larger gains. According to a recent Reuters poll, despite potential pushes from central banks, these external factors will play a crucial role in shaping the future performance of European stocks. Investors should remain vigilant as conditions evolve in the coming months.
