European stocks climb at open; FTSE up 0.15%

AFP

European stock markets rose at the start of trading on Wednesday, with London's benchmark FTSE 100 index increasing 0.15 percent to 6,899.63 points.

Frankfurt's DAX 30 advanced 0.33 percent to 11,317.24 points and the CAC 40 index in Paris gained 0.28 percent to 4,882.94 compared with Tuesday's close.

European equities had fallen Tuesday after recent strong gains, with traders sitting tight as the eurozone awaits fresh central bank stimulus.

The European Central Bank will unveil Thursday the details of the bond purchase programme it is embarking on later this month.
