Europe: Stocks rebound at open

[LONDON] Europe's main stock markets rose at the start of trading on Tuesday, matching a rebound for Tokyo.

London's benchmark FTSE 100 index climbed 0.2 per cent to 7,310.67 points compared with the close on Monday.

In the eurozone, Frankfurt's DAX 30 grew 0.6 per cent to 12,062.69 points and the Paris CAC 40 advanced 0.2 per cent to 5,027.13.

World stock markets had mostly fallen Monday and the dollar slid on concerns that the collapse of US President Donald Trump's repeal of Obamacare could leave him struggling to push through his promised tax-cut and infrastructure spending policies.
