S&P Dow Jones Indices Market Attributes: Europe Index Dashboard

With the recent updates for euro-area inflation remaining resolutely negative, the pressure – and expectation – is on the European Central Bank to announce further stimulus in December. Following a now familiar pattern, bond yields fell and the region’s equity markets rose in approval of the anticipated bout of central banking largesse.
The S&P Europe 350® closed November with a total return of 2.5%, while the S&P Pan-Eurozone Developed Sovereign bond index closed the month with a gain of 0.45%.
Every sector of the S&P Europe 350 finished in the black this month. It was generally a positive month across countries too.
Loosely speaking, November was a month characterized across markets by a continuation of year-to-date trends. This was particularly visible in our European equity strategy and factor indices, as previous winners Quality, Momentum, Growth and Low Volatility topped our strategy charts once again.
