European shares hit record highs as defensive appeal offsets Nvidia shock

European shares edged higher on Thursday, striking a fresh record high, as robust corporate earnings and the region’s defensive composition offset volatility in technology stocks triggered by mounting leadership turmoil at AI-bellwether Nvidia.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 0.4%, bringing the gauge to an all-time peak.

Germany’s DAX rose 1.1%, France’s CAC 40 was up 0.6% and London’s FTSE 100 was up 0.3%.

The advance extends a durable autumn rally anchored by a highly constructive third-quarter earnings season.
