UPDATE 2-European stocks extend record rally after Xi-Biden talks, Prosus, Kering boost

Tue, 16th Nov 2021 10:28

* STOXX 600 hits another all-time-high

* Kering boosts European retail sector

* Vodafone earnings boost telecom stocks
(Adds comments, updates prices throughout)

By Shreyashi Sanyal

Nov 16 (Reuters) - Some European stock indexes extended
their record rally on Tuesday, boosted by shares of Dutch
technology investor Prosus and French luxury group Kering and
lifted by optimism over easing in U.S.-China tensions.

The pan-European STOXX 600 closed 0.2% higher,
while Germany's DAX, France's CAC 40, and euro
zone shares all rose to new peaks.

Prosus NV rose 4.2% after forecasting higher profit
for the first half of 2022 as it raised $12.3 billion from
selling part of its stake in Tencent in April.

Kering was on top of the CAC 40, gaining 4.4%
after its top brand Gucci said it expected 2021 revenues to be
in line or higher than their pre-pandemic level. HSBC upgraded
the stock to "buy".

Markets remained positive through the day, which started
with a key meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese
leader Xi Jinping that was viewed as evidence of improvement in
the fraught relationship.

Data showed euro zone gross domestic product (GDP) rose 2.2%
quarter-on-quarter in the July-September period, as expected.

"The decent increase in euro-zone GDP in Q3 means that the
recovery is now almost complete in most of the region," said
Jessica Hinds, Europe economist at Capital Economics.

The STOXX 600 has scaled fresh peaks in November as an
encouraging earnings season, dovish signals from the European
Central Bank and improving economic data helped investors look
past inflationary pressures as well as a renewed surge in
COVID-19 cases across the continent.

ECB President Christine Lagarde on Monday reiterated her
push back against market bets for tighter monetary policy.

"We're seeing record highs but only incremental moves, which
is a sign of where we stand right now," said Craig Erlam, senior
market analyst at OANDA.

"Central banks are pushing for as long as they can to buy
time and see if economies are in a good position to raise rates,
at which point they could start to safely tweak their language.
This is supporting markets."

The telecom sector was boosted by a 0.5% jump in
Vodafone after the company lifted its annual free cash
flow outlook.

Portuguese food retailer Jeronimo Martins plunged
11.1% after Asteck, a unit of the Heerema Group, sold its entire
5% stake in the company.
