LONDON, (APP/AFP) – European stock markets rose
at the start of trading on Thursday, with London’s benchmark FTSE 100 index rising 0.2 percent to 6,873.24 points.
In the eurozone, Frankfurt’s DAX 30 won 0.7 percent to 10,613.08 points and the CAC 40 in Paris gained 0.5 percent to open at 4,441.20 compared with the close on Wednesday.
