The first half of the year is over, and it may surprise some investors that European stocks are nearly at parity with U.S. stocks. The tale of the tape as of June 30 tells the story:
The S&P 500 is up about 9.3%. It’s a solid number even if it’s not a record. However, the Euro Stoxx 50 index is up 8.2% this year. This continues a bullish trend in the index that started in October 2022.
