European stock markets are progressing, with France in the spotlight
European stocks were higher on Monday morning, with the regional Stoxx 600 index rebounding from four straight losses to trade 0.45% higher.
France’s CAC 40 index led gains, adding 1.4% by 10 a.m. London time, as investors assessed results from the first parliamentary round that suggested no party could end up with an absolute majority. Markets were shaken by the far-right and left coalition’s proposals.
Britain’s FTSE 100 and Germany’s DAX were both up around 0.4%.
