UBS, Europe’s Biggest Stock Bull, Sees 13% Gain By End of 2027

UBS, which has been among the most bullish major brokers on European equities, has forecast a roughly 13% gain for the region's benchmark stock indexes by the end of 2027. The call signals that a leading sell-side house expects earnings growth and multiple stability to carry European shares higher over the next two years, rather than relying on near-term rate cuts alone. The transmission channel runs through relative valuation: European equities trade at a discount to US peers, so a sustained re-rating depends on capital rotating out of US megacap-heavy portfolios and into cyclical and financial sectors that are more sensitive to European growth and bank margins. Banks, industrials, and autos are most exposed to this thesis, since their earnings track eurozone credit growth, capital spending, and the path of the European Central Bank's deposit rate. Traders should watch the next eurozone flash PMI release and the ECB's upcoming policy decision, as any downside surprise in services activity or a dovish shift in guidance would test whether the forecast's earnings assumptions are holding.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
