S&P Dow Jones Indices - Europe Dashboard

• A strong start to the earnings season and easing geopolitical tensions competed with concerns of a trade war to hold the market’s attention over April. Fundamentals won the day; the S&P Europe 350® gained.
• Energy led the way among equity sectors this month, outperforming in Europe by a whopping 8% in total return. Strong gains in energy prices fueled the sector, but it was a good month for commodities generally.
• All of our reported S&P Europe 350 equity strategy indices rose this month. Interestingly, Momentum and Enhanced Value both topped the charts – more typically, one outperforms when the other falters.
