Global Market: European Stocks Rebound as Oil Prices Ease; Telecom Shares Slide on SpaceX Deal
The STOXX 600 rose 0.8% as oil prices fell nearly 1%, while telecom shares dropped after SpaceX’s reported $8 billion spectrum deal.
- European stocks recovered on Friday as oil prices eased, though the telecommunications sector dropped 2.7% after SpaceX agreed to acquire Grain Management's nationwide 800 MHz spectrum portfolio.
- The deal, valued at about $8 billion, bolsters SpaceX's satellite-to-cellular connectivity ambitions; this low-band spectrum acquisition mounts a direct challenge to legacy wireless giants across the United States.
- Deutsche Telekom fell 8%, while Britain's Vodafone dropped 4.5%, France's Orange lost 3.4%, and Spain's Telefonica slipped 3.3%; the STOXX Europe 600 Telecommunications index hit its lowest level since February.
- Conversely, tower operators American Tower, Crown Castle, and SBA Communications advanced between 5% and 6%. Morgan Stanley analysts called the transaction "incrementally constructive" for infrastructure demand.
- Oil prices dipped nearly 1% after President Donald Trump said the United States will not attack Iran before next month's elections, easing inflationary concerns.
