European equities have long been written off as the ultimate value trap — a sleepy, slow-growth market living in the shadow of Wall Street's tech-fueled mega-rally. But a massive shift in market dynamics is unfolding across the Atlantic.
European stocks were little changed on Monday, holding close to record territory as investors weighed a strong earnings season against another rise in oil prices and an unsettled outlook for the Strait of Hormuz. The STOXX Europe 600 traded around 660.1 in early dealings after closing at a record 660.25 on Friday and gaining 1.7% last week.
