The leading European indices on green territory

Stock exchanges in Europe began to grow as the geopolitical tensions between the US and North Korea weakened and so the markets were entirely focused on the performance of the companies on the old continent.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 rose by 1.08%, with all sectors closing the day on positive territory. The best performing sector was the bank's, which rose by 1.4% after the merger of Standard Life and Aberdeen Asset Management.
DAX30 recorded a growth of 1.26% to 12165.12 points, and the British FTSE100 ended the session at 7353.89 points, with an increase of 0.60%. Shares of French companies also rose, with Danone's shares rising by 1.5 percent on the back of information that the company could be acquired. This led to a rise in the main French index CAC40 by 1.20% to 5121.67 points.
