In April 2025, the European market is grappling with significant volatility as higher-than-expected U.S. trade tariffs have led to sharp declines in major stock indexes, including an 8.44% drop in the STOXX Europe 600 Index—the largest in five years. Amidst this uncertainty, investors may find opportunities by focusing on stocks that are potentially undervalued due to broader market pressures rather than company-specific issues.
