European stocks showed minimal movement on Tuesday, with the STOXX 50 remaining near the flatline and the STOXX 600 experiencing a slight decline of 0.2%, following modest gains in the previous session. Investors are keenly awaiting the Eurozone inflation data release later today, seeking insight on how tariffs are impacting prices and the potential implications for the European Central Bank's (ECB) future monetary policy. August inflation is projected to remain steady at 2%. It's broadly expected that the ECB will maintain interest rates unchanged in the coming week before potentially resuming cuts in the fall. On the corporate side, Nestlé shares saw a 2.7% drop after the CEO's dismissal. Meanwhile, ASML Holding and Siemens also saw declines of 1.2% and 0.8%, respectively. Conversely, LVMH shares rose by 2.7%, and Schneider Electric climbed 2.6% following an upgrade by Deutsche Bank from “hold” to “buy.”
