DAX closes up 0.54% at 26,407.90; European stocks broadly higher
AI take
The dispersion is the story here: Italy's outperformance, led by a nearly 2% gain in its bank index, points to financials driving the move rather than a uniform risk-on bid, while the UK's near-flat close suggests the rally is not broad across all major markets. That gap makes the read-across to banking-sector sentiment the key variable. Whether Italian bank strength continues to lead European indices, or fades as an isolated pocket, is the open question worth watching.
