European markets are on track for a mixed open on Thursday as global sentiment wavers amid concerns about a potential recession.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index is expected to open lower by 0.2%, while the FTSE 100 index is trading flat. The DAX and CAC 40 indices are expected to open higher, by 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively.
The mixed outlook for European markets comes as investors weigh the risks of a potential recession against the potential for a rebound in economic growth.
On the one hand, several factors could lead to a recession, including high inflation, rising interest rates, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. On the other hand, there are also some positive signs, such as strong employment growth and a resilient consumer sector.
Investors are also watching the upcoming earnings season, which will begin in earnest next week. If companies report strong earnings, it could boost sentiment and support equity markets. However, if earnings are disappointing, it could lead to a sell-off in stocks.

Investors will likely remain cautious in the coming weeks and months as they await more clarity on the economy’s direction and company earnings outlook.
