EARNINGS HELP EUROPEAN INDEXES
Better-than-expected company results are helping European indices find their footing on Friday having taken a bruising in this week's global stocks sell-off, with even the embattled luxury sector catching a break.
An index of the 10 biggest European luxury stocks is up 2%, after touching its lowest in seven months on Thursday. In a sign of the trouble the sector has had, if that gain from the first hour holds, it'd be the sector's best daily gain since January.
Behind the move is an 8% jump in Ray-Ban maker EssilorLuxottica after its CEO says Meta META.O told it about potentially taking a stake, as well as a 3% gain for Birkin bag maker Hermes HRMS.PA after its results.
That's also helping the French CAC40 to gain 0.5% FCHI. Earnings are also helping Britain's FTSE .FTSE up 0.5%, but less-good news in Germany, where the DAX .GDAXI is up just 0.1%, due to a 2.5% drop in shares of chemicals company BASF BASFn.DE, and in Spain, where the IBEX .IBEX is down 0.3%. The broad STOXX 600 is 0.27% higher.
At the top of the FTSE is high-street lender NatWest NWG.L, whose shares are up 6.9% at their highest since 2015 after raising its performance outlook for the year, as well as buying a 2.4-billion pound mortgage book from smaller rival Metro Bank. MTRO.L
Chemicals giant BASF BASFn.DE down 2.5% after its earnings missed forecasts is weighing on the German benchmark.
