European Stock Markets Saw Steady Improvements
European Stock Markets Saw Steady Improvements this morning ahead of a busy week of economic and corporate reports. Market traders and investors saw Britain’s FTSE 100, France’s CAC-40 and Germany’s DAX all rose in value following a run of poor performances by many of the world’s markets over the last couple of weeks.
Europe’s three leading share index’s all started the week in strong form with the FTSE 100 index rising 15.30 points, the CAC-40 advancing by 7.27 points and the DAX gaining in strength by 3.09 points. The US markets are also promising to start today brightly following last week’s better than expected U.S. economic growth figures, which, even though investors received with caution, still assisted growth for many of the US’ major markets.
Market analyst, Ben Potter, from IG Index thinks that there will be much uncertainty regarding the recovery of the world’s economy ahead of the impending release of further important economic reports and news. He said “Question marks over the strength of the global recovery continue to weigh on investor sentiment and with a number of high profile economic and corporate announcements due in the coming days, expect further clarity here.”
