<h3>STOXX  OFF TO STEADY START, CALM UNDER THE SURFACE</h3>
<p>European shares were steady on Tuesday, with the STOXX 600 (.STOXX)  adding 0.1% and moves beneath the surface also looking contained after recent rotations that heavily penalised industries seen as most exposed to potential AI disruption.</p>
<p>The STOXX 600 was last up around 0.1%, while the FTSE 100 (.FTSE)  added 0.4%, supported by a softer sterling, gains in heavyweight healthcare names, and a stabilisation in stocks such as information group RELX   (REL.L)  after sharp falls driven by mounting AI concerns.</p>
<p>Switzerland’s SMI  (.SSMI)  stood out by hitting a fresh record high, rising 0.5% as pharma and financials advanced.</p>
<p>Among STOXX sub-sectors, utilities  (.SX6P) , insurers  (.SXIP)  and healthcare  (.SXDP)  led gainers, offsetting declines in basic resources  (.SXPP) , down 1% as metal prices pulled back, and weakness in tech  (.SX8P) .</p>
<p>Aerospace and defence stocks  (.SXPARO)  eased with eyes on key nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran due in Geneva.</p>
