European equity markets are posting gains, demonstrating resilience against the headwinds of rising bond yields and surging oil prices. The rally is being driven by domestic policy support, specifically a new UK government loan program for first-time homebuyers which has lifted homebuilder stocks. Additionally, negative power price hours in Germany are bucking the broader EU trend, suggesting structural shifts in the energy mix that may offer some insulation for industrial consumers despite the global oil spike.
