European stocks rise at open

LONDON, Nov 15, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – European stocks rose Thursday in opening
deals, after British Prime Minister Theresa May won the backing of her
cabinet for her Brexit deal but suffered a ministerial resignation.

In initial trade, London’s benchmark FTSE 100 index of major blue-chip
companies gained 0.4 percent to stand at 7,060.10 points, compared with
Wednesday’s closing level.

In the eurozone, Frankfurt’s DAX 30 added 0.3 percent to 11,447.84 points
and the Paris CAC 40 won almost 0.6 percent to 5,097.09.
