European equities flatline as markets digest Nvidia board probe

European equities tread water and start the week on a dour note as investors digest an unsettling leadership drama at artificial intelligence bellwether Nvidia alongside a heavy slate of upcoming macroeconomic data. While some reports note early caution and flatlining shares, other market trackers cite a 1.3 percent surge in the benchmark STOXX 600 driven by discounted semiconductor stocks and Italian banking consolidation. Meanwhile, Asian stocks rallied following a global rout, and SAP shares gained after JPMorgan upgraded the stock, pointing to enterprise artificial intelligence moving from pilots to production.
