description: "European equities declined amid ongoing Middle East tensions, with the pan-European Stoxx 600 down 0.20%. UK's inflation fell to 2.8%, while Germany's producer prices rose 1.7% year-on-year. Austria's inflation increased to 3.4%, and Denmark's economy grew 1.9% quarter-on-quarter. The EU is close to a deal to eliminate import tariffs on U.S. goods. In the bond market, U.S. and UK 10-year yields decreased, reflecting cautious investor sentiment ahead of Nvidia's earnings release."
