European stocks ahead in opening trade

LONDON, (MILLAT ONLINE/APP/AFP) – Europe’s main stock markets
experienced tentative gains on Thursday, one day after Britain
formally triggered its two-year EU divorce.
In initial deals, London’s benchmark FTSE 100 index gained
ust under 0.1 percent to stand at 7,377.40 points.
In the eurozone, Frankfurt’s DAX 30 added 0.1 percent to
12,220.64 points and the CAC 40 in Paris also advanced 0.1
percent to 5,075.61.
“The European markets are looking pretty sleepy this
morning, lacking direction,” said Spreadex analyst Connor
Campbell.
“However, with the real Brexit negotiations looming these
kinds of placid opens may soon be a distant memory.”
