Stock markets in Europe entered the new trading week with timid growth. The stock exchanges in London and Frankfurt have improved the most. Milan, on the other hand, was losing significantly; Paris or Madrid also found themselves in the red.
Stoxx 600 is extending its gains
The pan-European Stoxx 600 stock index firmed 0.52 percent at the start of the last week of June this year, climbed to its highest level in the past two weeks. European stocks strengthened mainly on a report on the easing of anti-epidemic measures in China, which contributed strongly to positive sentiment on the rust. The mining segment, which rose 1.8 per cent, was also firming significantly. Thus, the Stoxx 600 index followed up on Friday trading, extending its gains.
The Milan bourse recorded the biggest loss
The London Stock Exchange also grew significantly, with the FTSE 100 index adding 0.69 per cent. The Frankfurt DAX index also scored more than half a percent. Conversely, Paris, Milan and Madrid headed in the opposite direction when the Milan bourse recorded the biggest loss, at 0.86 percent.
European stocks partly exported on a wave of optimism that came from Asia. The most important stock exchanges there firmed by 0.88 (Shanghai) to 2.35 percent (Hong Kong).
