The Latest: European markets track Asia higher as oil jumps
– canadianbusiness.com
LONDON – The Latest news on global financial markets (all times local):
9:10 a.m.
European stock markets are tracking their Asian counterparts higher as oil prices recouped losses they recorded in the wake of the failure of oil-rich nations to cap production.
Among Europe’s main indexes, Germany’s DAX was trading 1.3 per cent higher at 10,253 while Britain’s FTSE 100 rose 0.8 per cent to 6,406.
The gains in Europe came after a strong session in Asia. Japan’s Nikkei led the advance as it notched up a 3.7 per cent to close at 16,874.44.
The improving sentiment in stock markets has been helped by the rally in oil prices following an initial decline of about 7 per cent in the wake of Sunday’s failure by oil-producing nations to announce a production cap. A barrel of benchmark New York crude was up 67 cents at $40.45.
