European equity markets were set for a largely unchanged open on Monday as investors tracked evolving developments in US-Iran peace negotiations. Reports suggested that Washington and Tehran had agreed on a roadmap toward a final agreement within 60 days, helping ease market concerns after both sides recently exchanged fresh threats over the conflict in Lebanon. In the UK, investors are also assessing speculation that Prime Minister Keir Starmer could announce plans to relinquish power as early as today after Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham was elected to parliament last week and emerged as a potential challenger. Meanwhile, the European calendar is light, with no major economic data releases or corporate earnings reports due. In premarket trading, Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 futures were little changed, hovering around flat to slightly lower levels.

European Stocks Inch Down from Record
European stock indices inched down from their record levels on Friday as the pullback in sovereign yields was halted. The Euro STOXX 50 eased 0.3% to 6,302 and the STOXX Europe 600 dropped 0.2% to 636. Iran delayed the start of talks over its nuclear program and war with the US to halt a streak of de-escalation between both countries that lowered energy prices and propped European equities to a rally this week. Still, plans to restore trade through the Strait of Hormuz progressed with reports that tankers flowed through the chokepoint. Luxury brands closed lower with LVMH, Hermes, and Ferrari dropping between 2.5% and 2.3%. Tech was also lower with ASML and Prosus dropping 1% and 2.2%, respectively. German auto producers rebounded slightly following the guidance decrease from BMW this week, although Volkswagen dropped 4.5% as it was detached from its dividend. On the week, the Euro STOXX 50 gained 1.9% and the STOXX Europe 600 rose 0.4%.

European Stocks Cautious on Friday
Stocks in Europe were cautious on Friday, with both the STOXX 50 and STOXX 600 down 0.1%, putting them on track to close the session in the red, and pausing a six-day winning streak. Sentiment weakened after renewed geopolitical concerns in the Middle East, following the cancellation of scheduled US–Iran talks in Geneva. The development raised doubts about the prospects for a peace agreement and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, helping to push oil prices slightly higher. Among individual movers, ASML Holding fell 1.1% after Bloomberg reported that US officials are investigating whether one of the company’s chipmaking machines may have been transferred to China, potentially breaching US-led export restrictions. L’Oréal declined 2.9%, while Hermès dropped 1.8%. On the other hand, energy and healthcare stocks outperformed. Novo Nordisk surged nearly 5% after several analysts upgraded the stock. For the week, the STOXX 50 is up 2.1%, while the STOXX 600 has gained 0.6%.
