European equities traded higher Thursday after the U.S. Federal Reserve
gave a clearer signal about a December rate hike, a report said on
CNBC.
The pan-European STOXX 600 was up 0.6 percent with all major indices in
positive territory following strong moves higher in Asia and the U.S.
overnight.
U.S. equities closed higher on Wednesday and Asia markets were buoyed
overnight as investors digested the release of the Federal Reserve's
October meeting minutes.
The minutes showed that many members of the Federal Open Market
Committee believe a rates hike next month would be appropriate but would
then proceed with caution on further tightening, assessing the economic
conditions closely.
Investors in Europe are also digesting the latest developments in the
aftermath of the Paris attacks. Police raids on more suspected
perpetrators of Friday's attacks took place on Wednesday.
