European shares climb
Friday, 28 December 2007
LONDON, Dec 27 (AFP): Europe's main stock markets rose Thursday in light trade after the Christmas break and following slender overnight gains on Wall Street, dealers said.
However, activity was subdued because many investors were away for an extended Christmas and year-end holiday, analysts said.
In late morning deals, London's FTSE 100 index of leading shares added 0.23 per cent to 6,494.40 points, the Paris CAC 40 won 0.47 per cent to reach 5,640.57 and Frankfurt's Dax index gained 0.73 per cent to 8,061.05 points.
