European stocks log opening gains

LONDON, Oct 24, (APP/AFP) – European stocks pushed tentatively higher in opening deals on Monday, after an edgy session earlier in Asia, as investors mulled the US interest rate outlook. In initial trade, London’s benchmark FTSE 100 index gained 0.4 percent to 7,049.15 points compared with Friday’s closing level. In the eurozone, Frankfurt’s DAX 30 rose 0.3 percent to 10,743.87 and in Paris the CAC 40 also increased 0.3 percent to stand at 4,551.73 points.
