ROME: European opened higher on Wednesday on what is a bumper day of earnings, as choppy trade in Chinese stocks continues and investors look to the outcome of a two-day policy meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 was trading over 0.5 percent higher by mid-morning.
Britain’s FTSE 100 and the French CAC were both around 0.5 percent higher at the open while the German DAX saw a 0.4 percent pop.
Asian stocks turned mixed early Wednesday, as volatile trade in China offset the positive lead from Wall Street overnight. However, the stabilization of commodity prices gave a slight boost to resource-dependent markets such as Australia.
