European equity markets were poised for a subdued open on Monday as investors assessed the prospects for renewed US–Iran negotiations amid conflicting signals. Axios reported that Iran has put forward a new proposal to the United States aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending the conflict, with nuclear talks postponed to a later phase. However, President Donald Trump has cancelled plans to dispatch senior envoys for a second round of discussions, while Tehran has reiterated that it will not negotiate under threat or blockade conditions. In Europe, focus will turn to Germany’s GfK Consumer Confidence survey for further insight into the region’s economic outlook. Investors are also bracing for a busy week of corporate earnings, with results scheduled from major companies including Deutsche Boerse, Airbus, BP, Barclays, and TotalEnergies. In premarket trading, futures on the Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 were little changed.
