European stocks edged to new highs on Tuesday, with the Euro STOXX 50 closing 0.5% higher at a record 6,553 and the STOXX Europe 600 also reaching a record 660.8. Gains in technology and energy shares drove the advance in an otherwise muted session. ASML rose 2.7% after Bernstein upgraded the stock, while other companies tied to AI infrastructure also advanced, including Siemens Energy, which gained close to 3%. Energy names such as TotalEnergies and ENI added nearly 2% as oil-sensitive shares strengthened after US President Trump hardened his rhetoric against Iran, reinforcing expectations that exports through the Persian Gulf could remain disrupted despite optimistic signals of a deal from Pakistan and Qatar. Earlier pressure on Vistry remained part of the broader backdrop, but the latest session was defined by fresh record closes led by technology and energy stocks.
