European stock markets rise at open
LONDON, Sept 24, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Europe’s stock markets advanced at the open
on Tuesday after tentative gains in Asia.
In initial deals, London’s benchmark FTSE 100 index gained 0.3 percent to
7,344.45 points compared with the closing level on Monday.
In the eurozone, Frankfurt’s DAX 30 index added 0.2 percent to stand at
12,365.02 points and the Paris CAC 40 won 0.3 percent to 5,645.02.
Asian equities crept higher but investors remain on edge following
contrasting economic data out of Europe and the US, as they also await
developments in the China-US trade standoff.
