The issue of conflict in the Middle East also remains on the radar. Although uncertainty persists about a new ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and the chances of the United States and Iran reaching an agreement to end the war, which began more than three months ago, oil fell for the second day in a row this morning.

In the macroeconomic field, a review today showed that the euro zone's GDP (Gross Domestic Product) shrank 0.2% in the first quarter compared to the previous three months, suggesting that the impact of the war was greater than imagined. Previous readings had indicated an increase of 0.1% in the period.

In light of the shock in energy prices triggered by the conflict, there are expectations that the European Central Bank (ECB) will raise its main interest rates at next week's monetary policy meeting.

At 7:01 am (Brasília time), the London Stock Exchange rose 0.29%, the Paris Stock Exchange increased 0.36% and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange gained 0.16%. Those in Milan, Madrid and Lisbon had increases of 0.06%, 0.95% and 0.13%, respectively.
