U.S. equities ended with major benchmarks supported by ‎rebound in technology and cyclical sectors as investors absorbed ‎swings in precious-metals prices and solid earnings. Strength in ‎storage and travel stocks underpinned risk appetite while ‎Treasury yields modestly ticked higher, tempering safe-haven ‎demand and supporting equities. The S&P 500 rose 0.5%, the ‎Dow Jones gained 1.1%, and the NASDAQ Composite advanced ‎‎0.6%, reflecting broad participation in the rally. ‎

European equities ended on a broadly positive note, with stocks ‎across the U.K. and continental markets catching a bid amid ‎easing global risk sentiment and solid sector trends in retail and ‎banking. The FTSE 100 advanced 1.2%, the DAX increased ‎‎1.1%, the CAC 40 rose 0.7%, and the EURO STOXX 600 ‎climbed 1.0%, as miners and discretionary names helped lift ‎indices after softer commodity prices and improved ‎manufacturing data.‎
