Market Wrap International:

U.S. equities ended the session lower as weakness in large-cap ‎technology names and renewed caution ahead of key U.S. jobs ‎and inflation releases weighed on risk appetite, while Treasury ‎yields moved modestly and investors rotated into defensive and ‎value pockets. Market attention on AI-related earnings and a lack ‎of fresh Fed signals encouraged selective profit-taking in growth ‎stocks. The S&P 500 fell -0.2%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ‎declined -0.1%, and the NASDAQ dropped -0.6%.‎

European equities ended higher, supported by gains in banks, ‎miners, and energy shares as investors positioned ahead of ‎upcoming central-bank meetings and digested corporate updates, ‎with sentiment improving despite mixed global cues. Financials ‎and industrials outperformed, while healthcare lagged on stock-‎specific factors. The FTSE 100 increased 1.1%, the DAX rose ‎‎0.2%, the CAC 40 advanced 0.7%, and the EURO STOXX 600 ‎gained 0.7%.‎

Asian markets are trading lower, pressured by declines in ‎technology and export-oriented stocks amid weaker regional ‎data and spillover from U.S. tech losses, while currency ‎movements and demand concerns weighed on sentiment. Losses ‎were more pronounced in Japan and South Korea, with China ‎and Hong Kong also retreating. The SHCOMP slipped -0.6%, the ‎KOSPI fell -1.8%, the Nikkei 225 declined -1.3%, and the Hang ‎Seng dropped -1.3%.‎
