EARNINGS LIFT THE STOXX, BANKS BUOYANT
A number of well-received earning updates helped European shares bounce back on Thursday, following a poor start to the week on disappointment over results from heavyweights ASML ASML.AS and LVMH LVMH.PA.
The region-wide STOXX 600 .STOXX inched 0.2% higher.
The top six performers - Sartorius SATG.DE, Rentokil RTO.L, Merck MRCG.DE, Nordea NDAFI.HE and Entain ENT.L, up 4-12% - all rose following results.
Analysts have downgraded estimates at the fastest pace in seven months this week, setting a lower bar for beats, while more optimism over the global outlook might spare shares from severe punishment for misses, according to a Reuters analysis.
Banks .SX7P headed into the ECB meeting testing the 9-year highs hit in August. They were last up around 1%, leading gainers on the day and keeping their status as the best sectoral performers in Europe this year.
ASML fell over 1% to an 11-month low, adding to an over 20% slide in the previous two sessions and offsetting gains among other chip stocks following strong TSMC numbers.
In London, the FTSE .FTSE was flat.
