European shares to end 2018 short of January highs: Reuters poll

By Julien Ponthus and Helen Reid LONDON (Reuters) - European shares will stage a recovery in what remains of 2018 but fail to push past their January highs, ending the year with a meagre gain and with too little momentum to achieve a better performance in 2019, a Reuters poll showed. European and euro zone indices have largely still not recovered from a correction across global markets in early February when volatility skyrocketed. The pan-European STOXX 600 benchmark index is expected to reach 400 points by year-end, according to the poll of 30 brokers, fund managers and analysts, up 3.5 percent from Wednesday's close and 2.8 percent higher on the year
