STOXX 600 closes up 0.87% at 649.76

The recovery from an early decline is the more telling detail than the closing gain itself, suggesting dip-buying interest held through the session rather than a one-way move. Broad participation across the STOXX 50 and FTSE Eurofirst 300 points to a market-wide bid rather than a narrow sector story, though the item gives no driver. Whether this resilience holds into the next session, or was a single-day rebound, is the open question.
