Market Analysis

European stocks decline while utilities and real estate

European stocks edged lower on Monday as the initial enthusiasm from last week's robust U.S. jobs report faded, putting pressure on rate-sensitive sectors like real estate and utilities due to rising bond yields.

By 0726 GMT, the pan-European STOXX 600 index had fallen by 0.2%, with the real estate sector down 1% and utilities dropping 0.5%.

On Friday, the benchmark index saw gains after strong U.S. labor market data eased recession concerns and led to a sharp reduction in expectations for rate cuts. This pushed bond yields higher across the board, with Germany's 10-year bond yield reaching a one-month high. 

In individual stock moves, Richemont rose 1.3% after agreeing to sell its Yoox Net-A-Porter (BIT) online fashion business to German luxury fashion platform Mytheresa.

Heidelberg Materials surged 5.6% on news that Adani Group is in talks to acquire its Indian cement operations in a deal valued at approximately $1.2 billion.
