European stocks rose in trading on Friday as investors awaited the release of a new set of data from the United States and Europe to end the trading week.
Market participants expect the release of service activity data for the eurozone, Germany and the UK, as well as manufacturing and consumer confidence data from the United States.
And in business, the German automaker Daimler Truck unveiled its fourth-quarter earnings report before the opening bell.
The German DAX Index added 0.28%, the French CAC 40 Index improved by 0.54% this morning, while the FTSE 100 index in the UK rose by 0.62%, and the Euro Stoxx 50 index rose by 0.41%.
This follows the slight gains made by US stocks overnight, which were largely led by technology.
But this continues to improve the general mood in the field of stocks, as European indices are ready to rise again, especially the DAX, which is trading above all resistances.
