Belgian asset manager Candriam believes European equities are more at risk than those in the U.S. due to current market conditions. In a recent report, Candriam suggests that investors should prepare for potential events that could exacerbate this difference. <\/p>\n

The company believes that political uncertainty in Europe poses a greater risk than that in the U.S. Brexit, the Italian crisis, ongoing tensions in Spain and German political instability are just a few examples affecting the markets. Candriam warns that such events could have serious implications for European equities and investors should consider reassessing their portfolios. <\/p>\n

The company also points to the depreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar. A weaker euro could have a negative impact on the profits of European companies that operate internationally and settle in U.S. dollars. Candriam therefore recommends reviewing currency exposures and possibly hedging to minimize losses. <\/p>\n

Overall, Candriam stresses the importance of investors keeping a close eye on the European equity market and preparing for changes in market conditions. Current political and economic uncertainties make the European market a higher risk than the U.S. market. <\/p>\n

Equities in Europe more vulnerable than in the U.S<\/h2>\n

European equities have suffered losses in recent weeks. According to an analysis by Candriam, equities in Europe are more at risk than in the U.S. This is due to ongoing uncertainty about the outcome of Brexit and the trade dispute between the U.S. and China.<\/p>\n

Candriam sees the technology sector in Europe as particularly at risk. Due to data privacy regulations and less market dominance by tech companies, European tech stocks are more vulnerable to volatility than their U.S. counterparts.S. counterparts.<\/p>\n

The banking sector in Europe is also affected by the uncertainty. Continued low interest rates and the unclear future of the European Union are having an impact on banks in Europe. Candriam expects European bank stocks to weaken even further.<\/p>\n
