S&P Dow Jones Europe Index Dashboard
December 29, 2017--Summary
The S&P Europe 350 ended the year with a 10.75% total return. Signs of a strengthening European economy and the success of more moderate parties in Dutch, French, and German elections provided tailwinds for the region's equities over the year.
The S&P United Kingdom gained 11.85% in local currency terms this year. Although the index benefitted when market participants deemed a so-called "hard Brexit" less likely, this benefit was slightly offset by the positive impact on Pound Sterling; an appreciating currency meant revenues earned abroad became relatively less valuable to U.K. domiciled companies.
