FXStreet (Mumbai) – The European stocks extended gains for the second day, taking cues from the risk-on sentiment in the Asian markets.

Two-week range breached

At the time of writing, the Pan-European Euro Stoxx 600 index was up 2.15% at 366.71 levels. The index gapped higher and confirmed a breach of two week range of 363.97-350.69. The rally in the Asian and European equities lacked fresh fundamental trigger.

Among regional indices, Germany’s DAX advanced 1.65% and London’s FTSE advanced 2.00%. The equities in the UK remain resilient to the dismal UK industrial production and trade deficit figure released earlier today.
