Morning Report 5 Jul 24: Europe shrugs at political uncertainty, US jobs data anticipated

European sharemarkets added to the gains of the previous session on Thursday. UK stocks led the improvements with investors showing little anxiety ahead of a likely change of Government as a result of the UK General Election. Most sectors were higher, with the exception of Technology which ended slightly lower. The Energy and Financial sectors led gains, while Healthcare and Materials posted solid improvements. The continent-wide FTSEurofirst 300 index firmed by 0.5% or 11 points. In London, the UK FTSE 100 index ended 0.9% or 70 points higher, although recent weeks have seen the Index shed almost 2.5% as markets anticipated the ramifications of the election.
