Europe stocks gain ground with France in focus
European stocks were higher on Monday morning, with the regional Stoxx 600 index rebounding from four straight losses to trade up 0.45%.
France’s CAC 40 index led gains, adding 1.4% at 10 a.m. London time, as investors assessed first-round parliamentary results which suggested no party may end up with an absolute majority. Markets have been rattled by the proposals of both the far-right and left-wing coalition.
The U.K.’s FTSE 100 and Germany’s DAX were both around 0.4% higher.
