European equities publish a robust day however the Nasdaq begins to wilt

Closing changes in Europe on the day:

• Stoxx 600 +1.6%
• German DAX +1.5%
• Francis CAC +1.9%
• UK’s FTSE 100 +1.8%
• Spain’s IBEX +2.2%
• Italy’s FTSE MIB +2.4%

European stocks gave a bit back late but closed near the highs. Where there is some concern at the moment is in the Nasdaq, which has pared its gain to 1.0%, which is a post-opening low.
