(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/20/12 --
The Russell Developed Europe Index of large cap European stocks has returned 3.2% this month (as of July 18th), contributing to a 9.2% return year-to-date.
During July, the Energy (+5.7%), Consumer Staples (+4.9%) and Health Care (+4.8%) sectors contributed most to the Index return, while Financial Services (+0.5%) contributed the least.
Year-to-date, the Consumer Discretionary (+15.6%), Consumer Staples (+14.7%) and Health Care (+14.1%) sectors have led returns within the Index by a wide margin. The Energy sector, although the strongest performing sector in July, is still the weakest performing sector in 2012 year-to-date at 2.5%.
"The European equity market overall is beginning to recover ground lost in the second quarter, as reflected in the Russell Developed Europe Index," said Gareth Parker, senior research director of index research at Russell Indexes. "However, in recent weeks the European financial services sector has faced challenges as European banks have been hit hard in the wake of the LIBOR scandal."
