European markets moved higher on September 25, 2026, with all major equity benchmarks in the supplied data posting gains. The session marked a broad rebound following the declines recorded on September 24, while European currencies remained slightly weaker.

MSCI Europe led the equity advance, rising 0.68% to 2,775.91. The EURO STOXX 50 followed closely with a 0.67% gain to 6,314.47, while the DAX advanced 0.58% to 25,413.23.

Major European Equity Benchmarks Move Higher

The Euronext 100 Index increased 0.46% to 1,898.64, while the FTSE 100 gained 0.36% to 10,718.19. The CAC 40 posted a more modest increase of 0.07% to 8,087.28.

The broad recovery reversed much of the weakness seen in the previous session. The strongest gains were concentrated in the broader European indexes and the German market, while the CAC 40 recorded only a marginal advance.

The MSCI Europe and EURO STOXX 50 both recovered from their September 24 declines, while the DAX moved back above the 25,400 level.

European Currencies Remain Slightly Lower

Currency markets did not follow the equity recovery. The British Pound Index declined 0.16% to 132.17, while the Euro Index edged 0.05% lower to 113.77.

The pound remained under pressure following its 0.81% decline in the previous session. The euro was comparatively stable, recording only a marginal decline after falling 0.57% on September 24.

The divergence between equities and currencies remained evident as European stocks recovered while both major currency indexes moved lower.

Outlook

European markets ended the session with a broad equity recovery after the previous day’s declines. MSCI Europe and the EURO STOXX 50 posted the strongest gains, while the DAX and Euronext 100 also advanced. The FTSE 100 and CAC 40 moved higher at a slower pace. Meanwhile, the euro and pound remained slightly weaker. The next sessions will show whether the latest equity rebound can continue.
