Investors remained cautious ahead of upcoming Big Tech earnings and central bank meetings. HSBC reported third-quarter pretax profit in line with estimates driven by a net interest income boost, alongside a one billion dollar buyback announcement. However, other reports noted profit growth misses and a quarterly revenue miss that initially weighed on market sentiment before other earnings and a pullback in crude prices helped European shares eventually recover and close higher.
