FYI: Europe's brightening economic prospects are unlikely to insulate regional stocks from any sharp pullback on Wall Street where a wobble last week heightened anxiety about whether a market at record highs is due a correction.
Darkening clouds in the United States contrast with an acceleration of the euro zone economy and an ebbing of political risk after this month's defeat for the anti-euro, far right in France's presidential elections.
Some analysts have wondered whether European stocks could 'decouple', or move independently, from the richly-valued S&P 500 .SPX if it retreats significantly.
