0956 GMT - Europe's most valuable company ASML falls in early European trade. Technology stocks bear the brunt of renewed risk-off sentiment as hopes for a quick resolution to the Middle East conflict falter. Tech stocks pushed the U.S. market higher Wednesday, but any signs of renewed exuberance for European peers faded quickly at the European open. A gauge of the technology sector is 2.6% lower, the sharpest falling sub-sector in the Europe-wide Stoxx 600 index. ASML, which dominates a key part of the artificial-intelligence supply chain, moves 3.7% lower after rising sharply earlier in the week. Semiconductor companies Infineon and Suss MicroTec fall 3.9% and 3%, respectively, reversing gains in the last session. (josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
