European equity market closes:
- UK FTSE +0.4%
- German DAX +0.5%
- French CAC +0.1%
- Spain IBEX +0.2%
- Italy MIB -0.4%
I wouldn’t be too flustered by the soft day in Italian stocks because they rallied 5.5% in a two-day surge on Fri/Mon.
Most indexes in Europe are breaking out, partly on ECB hopes.
