Europe’s STOXX 600 index fell 0.95% to 638.38 points on Thursday morning, surrendering Wednesday's gains amid mixed earnings. The drop reflects mounting pressure from rising energy costs and widening sovereign bond spreads across the region. Investors are reassessing risk appetite as geopolitical tensions drive up energy and debt servicing costs.
