Global Market: European shares rebound as tech stocks recover; investors assess Middle East developments

European equities rebounded in early trade with the pan-European STOXX 600 index rising 0.4 percent to 638.66, recovering part of the sharp losses from the prior session. Technology stocks led the recovery, climbing 1.6 percent, with chipmakers like ASML, Siltronic, and Soitec posting strong advances on reports China may allow domestic AI firms limited access to Nvidia's H200 chips. Sentiment improved after US President Donald Trump indicated Iran wanted to negotiate, though AstraZeneca fell 8 percent after its partnership drug Wainua failed to meet primary goals in a late-stage trial.
