<div id="readability-page-1">Investing.com - European stocks opened mixed on Thursday, with regional benchmarks little changed as renewed tensions in the Middle East and a rebound in oil prices kept investor sentiment cautious after the previous session’s rally. At 03:08 ET (07:08 GMT), the pan-European Stoxx 600 fell 0.2%, Germany’s DAX edged down 0.2%, and France’s CAC 40 slipped 0.3%, while the UK’s FTSE 100 outperformed, rising 0.2% in early trade. [[pro_promotion | Stay ahead with the latest European stock news with real-time updates and Wall Street commentary on InvestingPro ]] Trump warns of further action, ceasefire doubts grow Sentiment weakened after after U.S. President Donald Trump said American military assets would remain deployed around Iran until a “real agreement” is fully complied with, warning of further conflict if terms are breached. The comments come as uncertainty surrounds the fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire, with Iran signaling talks may be “unreasonable” under current conditions despite plans to send a delegation to Pakistan for negotiations. Ongoing Israeli strikes on Lebanon, including fresh raids that destroyed residential buildings, have further raised doubts over the durability of the truce and heightened fears of a broader regional escalation. Oil rebounds as supply concerns persist Oil prices climbed on Thursday after suffering steep losses in the previous session, as disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz continued to cloud the supply outlook. Brent crude rose to around $97 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate traded near similar levels, supported by limited and tightly controlled shipping flows through the key waterway. Despite a tentative ceasefire, vessel movement remains restricted, with Iran maintaining significant control over transit, keeping supply risks elevated. Gold slips as inflation concerns weigh Gold prices edged lower, with spot gold remaining unchanged and U.S. gold futures falling about 0.6%, pressured by a rebound in oil prices that stoked inflation concerns. The metal had posted modest gains in the previous session amid safe-haven demand, but a steadier U.S. dollar and rising yields capped further upside.</div>
