Shares slip as investors look to earnings, tariff talks
LONDON - European shares fell on Tuesday, hit by mixed corporate earnings and anxiety over tariff negotiations between the U.S. and its trading partners, while the euro held steady. The Euro STOXX 600 index extended losses during morning trading and was last down 0.6%, with bourses in Germany and France losing 1.1% and 0.8% respectively. Among the big decliners were chemical stocks which shed 2% as Dulux paint maker Akzo Nobel lost 5.4% after lowering its core profit outlook for 2025. Earnings from firms including SAP and UniCredit were also in focus. Investors were also following tariff talks ahead of Washington's August 1 deadline, with the European Union exploring a broader set of possible countermeasures against the U.S. as hopes for an acceptable agreement fade. The euro was steady at $1.1689 after rising 0.5% on Monday, though still away from the near four-year high hit at the start of the month. The single currency is up 13% this year as investors looked for alternatives to U.S. assets bruised by tariff uncertainties. Its performance is closely monitored for its impact on profits in the euro zone's export-reliant economy. "The euro's ability to maintain preference over the dollar amid tariff tensions will depend on the extent of any escalation and whether the EU emerges as a relative loser while other countries secure significant deals with the U.S.," ING analysts wrote in a note to clients. Wall Street futures were marginally down. The benchmark S&P 500 and the Nasdaq closed at record highs on Monday. Investors await results this week from Wall Street giants Alphabet and Tesla, as well as European heavyweights LVMH and Roche, as uncertainty over tariffs clouds the outlook. Earlier, Asian share markets drifted lower after scaling a near four-year peak. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan hit its highest since October 2021 but finished down 0.4%. The index is up nearly 16% this year. Japanese markets returned after a holiday on Monday following the weekend's election where the ruling coalition suffered a defeat in upper house elections, although Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba vowed to remain in his post. The yen rallied 1% on Monday, recouping some of the losses from past weeks and was flat at 147.43 per dollar. FED INDEPENDENCE The dollar index, which gauges the unit against six other key currencies, was also flat at 97.849. Rumblings around the Federal Reserve's independence and whether U.S. President Donald Trump will fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell have kept investors on tenterhooks in recent weeks. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday the entire Federal Reserve needed to be examined as an institution and whether it had been successful. The Fed is widely expected to hold rates steady in its July meeting but might lower rates later in the year. Market focus will be squarely on Powell's impending speech on Tuesday for clues about when the Fed might ease policy. Brent crude futures fell 0.9% to $68.56 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude slipped by the same amount to $66.59 per barrel.

Nutanix Reveals 2024 Financial Services Cloud Report
Home » Emerging technologies » Cloud Computing » Nutanix Reveals 2024 Financial Services Cloud Report Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a hybrid multicloud computing, announced the findings of its seventh annual Financial Services Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) report. The global survey, conducted in Fall 2024 by U.K. researcher Vanson Bourne, measured cloud adoption progress in the financial services industry. According to the report, nearly all financial services organizations are now leveraging Generative AI (GenAI) applications. Most use cases focus on customer support, content creation, and automation. Despite rapid GenAI adoption, many firms struggle with infrastructure limitations. Nutanix reported that 92% of respondents believe their infrastructure needs improvement to fully support cloud native applications and containers. While containerization and Kubernetes are already in use, challenges like data silos and limited portability persist. Furthermore, 98% of organizations cited difficulties in scaling GenAI due to a lack of skilled personnel. Although 62% are actively hiring for GenAI roles, upskilling remains a key concern. Security was also identified as a major challenge. Nutanix revealed that 97% of respondents feel they must do more to secure GenAI models and applications. Additionally, 96% say GenAI is reshaping their data security priorities, and 90% express concerns about third-party IT vendor security. Financial leaders are also focused on long-term returns. While 39% anticipate potential GenAI-related losses in the next year, 58% expect gains within one to three years. Lee Caswell, SVP of Product and Solutions Marketing at Nutanix, said containers and hybrid cloud are now strategic tools in delivering customer value. He highlighted their role in enabling GenAI for fraud detection, cybersecurity, and customer engagement. Key insights from the Nutanix report include: GenAI adoption is high, but security and skills gaps remain. Infrastructure modernization is critical to scale GenAI. Financial services leaders are investing in long-term GenAI ROI. The 2024 Nutanix ECI survey included 1,500 IT and platform engineering decision-makers from multiple industries and regions, including the Americas, EMEA, and APJ.
