European stocks are at risk of a pullback from a slowing economy, which would outweigh any lift from interest-rate cuts, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. strategists.
“Growth is what matters to Europe equities rather than cuts,” a team led by Lilia Peytavin wrote in a note, adding they remain cautious on stocks over a three-month period. “European equities’ performance is tracking a little ahead of the current PMIs, which makes them vulnerable to any further deterioration in activity.”
