EUROPE'S main stock markets advanced further in opening deals on Tuesday (Jun 21), mirroring gains across Asia as some stability returned to markets following last week's turmoil.
London's benchmark FTSE 100 index rose 0.4 per cent to 7,148.03 points compared with the closing level on Monday.
In the eurozone, Frankfurt's DAX gained 0.9 per cent to 13,381.65 points and the Paris CAC 40 won 1.2 per cent to 5,989.52.
