First published at 14:06 GMT; updated with the session’s closing edition at 17:38 GMT.

The Guardian reported that European shares powered ahead as markets reacted to the Democrats’ victory,…
Every European benchmark we track closed lower on Tuesday, London’s 1.14% fall the steepest, as the technology selloff crossed from Asia. In The Edge’s reading, this was risk coming off rather than conviction selling: losses were shallowest where the AI trade weighs least, with Milan barely moved, and deepest in London, where crude above $100…
Madrid led a mostly higher European close on Monday, the IBEX 35 up 1.63% after three sessions of declines, while crude’s slide sank energy shares 2.26%. In The Edge’s reading the oil move sorted Europe’s session: consumer and rate-sensitive names rose while the energy sector fell hardest of the tracked set, and basic resources led…
Real retail sales in Germany fell 2.0% in September, Destatis said, more than reversing August’s rebound and leaving volumes 2.3% below the level of a year earlier.

For German households, October reverses September’s jump. For the European Central Bank, it brings a softer reading from Germany. In The Edge’s reading, the more telling move…
Europe’s four-session rise ended on Friday: the Stoxx Europe 600 fell 0.41% as technology followed Wall Street’s earnings night lower, while Eurostat’s flash showed growth slowing to 0.4%.

The euro area economy grew 0.4% in the third quarter, slower than the 0.6% of the second, as Spain led the four largest members and French output slipped.

Italy’s annual inflation jumped to 5.4% in October from 4.2%, a sharper acceleration than the October flash readings for France and Spain showed, as energy prices surged. For households and for the European Central Bank, the October readings show the energy shock reaching consumers at very different speeds: Italy’s regulated energy prices rose 59.5% on…
Europe rallied on Thursday after the European Central Bank held its rate and Christine Lagarde set her exit date, with Frankfurt’s 1.31% rise the day’s best and only Madrid lower.
