Euro Stoxx 50 closed at 5,846.95, down 0.07%, while the DAX advanced 1.49% to 24,307.92 and the CAC 40 slipped 0.19%.

The Day Ahead
Germany releases producer prices and flash PMIs at 23:30 ET, with manufacturing expected at 51.0. France follows with composite, manufacturing and services PMI flashes at 23:15 ET. GfK consumer confidence and Ifo business climate for Germany are due tomorrow, both carrying high market impact.
French business confidence is also scheduled. Markets will focus on any downside surprises that could lift June ECB cut odds. No Governing Council members are speaking.
Other Economic Notes
Eurozone unemployment stands at 6.70%. Softer external demand from Italy and Spain adds to evidence of cooling momentum in core economies. German PPI and Ifo prints will test whether domestic price pressures remain contained at the current 2.00% ECB deposit rate.
Equity outperformance in the DAX suggests selective buying in export names despite broader regional caution. Trade shortfalls may reinforce expectations that growth remains subdued through the summer. Analysts will watch whether services PMIs hold steady or join manufacturing in showing renewed weakness.
Any further softening could prompt renewed discussion of additional stimulus measures later in the year. Regional divergence remains visible, with Germany showing relative resilience while peripheral data disappoint.
