TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) shares are trading higher on Monday. The company agreed to acquire a 50% stake in two offshore wind projects in the North Sea from RWE AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RWEOY#OTC">RWEOY</a>), specifically N-9.1 and N-9.2, each with a <a target="_blank" href="https://totalenergies.com/news/press-releases/integrated-power-germany-totalenergies-joins-rwe-two-offshore-wind-projects" rel="noreferrer noopener">capacity </a>of 2 GW.
These projects, located 110 km off the German coast, were awarded to RWE in August 2024 and come with 25-year licenses that can be extended to 35 years.
This acquisition will complement TotalEnergies&#8217; existing N-12.1, N-11.2, and O-2.2 concessions, enabling the company to leverage synergies from its 6.5 GW German offshore wind hub and optimize construction and operational costs.
Notably, the German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) has conducted preliminary studies on marine conditions, subsoil, and wind and oceanographic factors.
This information will aid RWE and TotalEnergies in planning the construction of the wind farms, slated for commissioning in 2031 and 2032.
Olivier Jouny, SVP Renewables at TotalEnergies, said, &#8220;We are pleased to strengthen our ties with RWE, a key player in renewables and our partner in OranjeWind project in the Netherlands. This new partnership contributes to our integrated development in the German electricity market, the largest in Europe, and will enable TotalEnergies to provide green electrons to decarbonize the country&#8217;s electricity and industry.&#8221;
Last week, the company stated that it plans annual net investments of $16 billion – $18 billion from 2025 to 2030, with around $5 billion for low-carbon energies, allowing for a $2 billion reduction in case <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41147964/totalenergies-bets-big-on-expansion-lng-renewables-and-billions-in-buybacks" rel="noreferrer noopener">of significant price declines</a>.

Energy Giant TotalEnergies Misses On Q2 Bottomline: Details

European equities ended Monday broadly positive, while the U.S. market was closed for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/05/39027079/is-the-us-stock-market-open-on-memorial-day-why-the-s-p-500-could-end-the-year-on-a-high-note">the Memorial Day holiday. </a>
Traders maintained an overall positive risk sentiment on European assets, driven by near-total certainty that the European Central Bank (ECB) will deliver a rate cut at its June meeting.
Three key ECB members — chief economist Philip Lane, Finland Central Bank governor Olli Rehn and France Central Bank governor François Villeroy de Galhau — made reassuring statements indicating a rate cut is imminent.
<ul>
<li>&#8220;A June rate cut is appropriate if the inflation outlook holds,&#8221; Lane said. </li>
<li>&#8220;Inflation is converging to our 2% target in a sustained way, making it the right time in June to ease the monetary policy stance and start cutting rates,&#8221; Rehn said. </li>
<li>&#8220;Barring a surprise, a June rate cut is a done deal,&#8221; Villeroy said. </li>
</ul>
Traders now almost fully price in a June rate cut and expect a total of 65 basis points in cuts (more than two cuts but less than three) by the end of the year.
The euro, as tracked by the Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Currency Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXE#NYSE">FXE</a>), inched 0.1% higher to 1.0840.

European Equities Close Higher As Traders Bank On Imminent ECB Rate Cut: What's Driving Markets Monday?

While the U.S. markets are closed for the Labor Day holiday, the announcement of stimulus measures in China is ushering in a much-needed relief rally for equities in both the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">Hong Kong and mainland China markets.</a>
Conversely, growing economic concerns in Europe are raising cautionary flags among investors, suggesting that the era of robust corporate profits may be fading. 
In the currency market, both the euro and pound were up slightly, gaining 0.2% and 0.3% respectively. WTI crude hit a 9-month high at over $86/barrel on Monday, up 0.6%, buoyed by rising Chinese demand prospects and OPEC+ supply concerns. Gold held steady at $1937/oz. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chinese Stocks Soar Amidst Government&#8217;s Commitment to Stimulus</h2>
On Monday, the Hang Seng Index, as tracked by the iShares MSCI Hong Kong Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWH#NYSE">EWH</a>) surged by 2.51%, gaining 462.1 points to close at 18,844.2, reaching a three-week-high. This increase followed Beijing&#8217;s move to permit its major cities to decrease initial payments for homebuyers and incentivize lenders to reduce interest rates on current mortgages. Economists from Morgan Stanley also suggested that China may implement fiscal policy easing and address local debt concerns in the coming months.
Notably, Country Garden Holdings Co. Ltd. (OTCPK: CTRYY), a troubled developer facing a grace period ending on Sept. 5-6 for $22.5 million in due interest, obtained creditor approval over the weekend to extend a yuan bond&#8217;s maturity, resulting in a substantial 14.6% increase in its stock value.
Other top-performing offshore Chinese stocks included China Resources Land Ltd. (OTCPK: CRBJY) with a 9.7% increase, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp with a 9.4% gain, and China Overseas Land &amp; Investment (OTCPK: CAOVY) up 8.3%. Additionally, Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TME#NYSE">TME</a>) led gains among large-cap Chinese tech stocks. 
Chinese electric car manufacturers NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), and Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) successfully met their vehicle delivery targets, aligning with their third-quarter guidance.
The CSI 300 Index, representing onshore China shares, closed up 1.5%, adding to its previous Friday&#8217;s gains.
