European stocks rose Friday as strong results from US tech titans Microsoft and Google-parent Alphabet bolstered the tech sector, while investors eagerly awaited the release of the PCE price data from the US later that day, seeking insights into the Federal Reserve's monetary policy trajectory. Thursday's data, revealing an uptick in first-quarter inflation, hinted that the US central bank might defer interest rate cuts until September. Among individual stocks, Thyssenkrupp soared by 9% after announcing its intention to sell a 20% stake in its steel business, and Amundi climbed 7% as it posted upbeat Q1 inflows. Meanwhile, Airbus fell more than 2% after reporting weaker-than-expected Q1 operating profit and cashflow, while SAAB dropped 1.5% despite upgrading its sales outlook, and Remy Cointreau declined 1% even though it posted better-than-expected sales figures. Finally, Anglo American rejected BHP's £31.1 billion takeover bid, stating that it significantly undervalued the company.
