European markets are grappling with a mix of political instability and economic headwinds. The Belgian government is resuming budget negotiations to resolve a looming crisis, while the DAX tumbled 1.73% in sympathy with US tech losses. In France, a tragic bus crash has added to social tensions, and student protests are threatening school access. These domestic political frictions are compounding the external pressure of the global equity selloff, limiting the upside for European indices.
