European stock markets opened higher on hopes of renewed US-Iran talks, with attention focused on earnings reports from major tech companies.

European stock markets opened higher following signs that the US and Iran may resume peace talks, causing oil prices to weaken. Investors are also awaiting earnings reports from major US technology companies.

On July 21, 2569 at 15.08:XNUMX a.m. European stock markets opened slightly higher on Tuesday (July 21). Hopes that the US and Iran may resume peace talks have put downward pressure on oil prices, while investors are watching for the release of earnings reports from listed companies, especially major US technology companies.

The STOXX 600 index opened at 639.81 points, up 0.21 points or 0.03%. France's CAC 40 index opened at 8,348.75 points, up 8.64 points or 0.10%, and Germany's DAX index opened at 24,922.10 points, up 75.41 points or 0.30%.

The investment atmosphere was boosted after a senior Iranian official revealed to the media that a mediator between Iran and the United States had proposed a 10-day ceasefire to pave the way for peace negotiations. This resulted in a drop in global oil prices this morning.

Meanwhile, investors are also watching the earnings reports of major U.S. technology companies to assess the return on investment in artificial intelligence (AI). Tesla and Alphabet are scheduled to report earnings on Wednesday (July 22), while Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Amazon will gradually release their results next week, which could be a key factor influencing the direction of global financial markets in the short term.
