    EUROPE’S stock markets edged higher in opening deals on Friday (Nov 18) ahead of the weekend.

    London’s FTSE 100 index rose 0.2 per cent to 7,364.21 points, a day after slipping on the back of a harsh UK budget.

    Stocks were partly lifted by data showing that UK retail sales rose 0.6 per cent in October, rebounding from a 1.5-per cent slump in September.

    In the eurozone, the Paris CAC 40 index added 0.5 per cent to 6,608.32 points and Frankfurt’s DAX won 0.3 per cent to 14,313.02.
