Stock Europe returned to growth after a loud fall from the day before

European stock indices recovered on Tuesday after a sharp decline the day before, caused by growing geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

At one point, the index of leading European enterprises STOXX Europe 600 rose by 0.92% and traded around 465.18 points. The British FTSE 100 rose 0.51% to 7570.8, the French CAC 40 gained 1.22% to 6938.62 and the German DAX rose 1.34% to 15315.9.

Securities of the mining company Glencore PLC increased by 2.8% against the background of a record adjusted EBITDA of $21.32 billion for the past year. At the same time, market experts predicted an increase in the indicator to only $21.24 billion. In addition, Glencore management announced that it will pay dividends to the company's shareholders in the amount of $0.26 per security.

The quotes of the Dutch holding Randstad N.V. jumped by 4.5%. The recruitment company increased its net profit by 16% in the fourth quarter of 2021, and therefore plans to charge special dividends to shareholders worth 2.81 euros per security.

The share price of the Finnish commercial bank Nordea Bank Abp increased by 1%. The reason for the increase in quotes was the granting of Nordea Bank Abp permission to conduct a repurchase of securities in the amount of 1 billion euros by the European Central Bank.

Shares of the French energy company Engie SA are losing 0.94%, despite the publication of a report on net profit last year in the amount of 3.66 billion euros. Engie management announced that the company plans to pay shareholders an annual dividend of 0.85 euros per security.

In general, European stock indexes showed a confident recovery against the background of a gradual easing of tensions in Eastern Europe. So, on the eve of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that the units of the Western and Southern military districts are returning from exercises to the base.

At the end of last week, the White House announced that the US authorities were waiting for Russia's invasion of Ukraine before the end of the Winter Olympics in Beijing. The message from the US authorities instantly led to a decrease in interest in risky assets on world markets, the negative dynamics persisted on Monday.

However, on Tuesday, against the background of the statement by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov about Russia's readiness to continue dialogue with the west, stock markets began to confidently win back losses.

As a result, at the close of the trading session on Monday, European stock exchange indicators reported a sharp decline.

Thus, the STOXX Europe 600 index of leading enterprises in the region sank by 1.83% to 460.96 points. The German DAX lost 2.02%, the French CAC 40 declined 2.27%, and the British FTSE 100 - 1.69%.

The tense geopolitical situation in eastern Europe will remain in the spotlight of market participants this week. In addition, investors will be watching for new signals from the US Federal Reserve, as well as the meeting of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The meeting of the leaders is scheduled for Tuesday, the threat of military conflict and security guarantees are on the agenda.
