European Stocks Fluctuate Amid US Tech Selloff
European stocks went down on Friday because of a big selloff in US technology stocks.
This happened even though the European stocks were close to their highest point ever.
Some stocks, like UBS Group AG and sportswear companies, did well.
Experts think the European stocks will go up by about 7% by the end of next year.
They also believe there might be a Christmas rally, which is when stocks usually go up around the holidays.
Some investors are buying stocks that haven't done well this year to make their portfolios more diverse.
European stocks declined 0.5% on Friday due to a US tech selloff, near a record high.
UBS Group AG shares rose 2.5% to the highest level since 2008 after a proposed compromise on capital levels.
Sportswear stocks rose following Lululemon Athletica's boosted full-year outlook.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index is expected to rise about 7% by the end of next year.
Federal Reserve's interest-rate cut and upbeat assessment of the US economy fueled a global rally.
