Nevertheless, STOXX may show a record quarterly decline since 2002 after a panic sale, as a result of which European companies lost nearly $ 3 trillion in capitalization in just over a month.
HelloFresh shares jumped nearly 16% to a record high after a German food-delivery company predicted revenue for the first quarter above market expectations.
