Doubts remain in European markets as oil continues to rise

Concerns over AI investments, geopolitical instability, and rising oil prices continue to impact market sentiment. Paris sees a minor drop, while Frankfurt experiences a larger decline. The Ibex 35 in Spain shows a slight increase after a significant drop the previous day. The Eurostoxx 50 index reflects slight decreases, notably affected by Kering's poor sales report.
