European markets are expected to open with slight gains
Brussels, February 11 (Hibya) - Following U.S. retail sales data strengthening expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates this year, European markets are expected to open with slight gains on Wednesday.
In pre-market trading, Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 futures rose by around 0.1%.
Investor focus is shifting to the delayed U.S. employment report to be released later in the session, followed by the U.S. consumer inflation data set to be released on Friday. In Europe, attention is on Italy's industrial production and Turkey's retail sales figures. In Turkey, retail sales rose by 16.3% year-on-year in December 2025, exceeding the 14.9% increase in November and marking the strongest rise since May.
Markets are also expected to evaluate the earnings reports of major companies such as TotalEnergies, Siemens Energy, Commerzbank, Heineken, and Dassault Systèmes.
