European
equities extended a rally that has helped them recoup about half the
losses from a summer rout, buoyed by gains in energy and commodity
producers.
Oil-and-gas
stocks had the best gains among industry groups, following crude
higher. Tullow Oil Plc jumped 18 percent amid optimism for production
from its Ghana partner. Glencore Plc and Anglo American Plc rose 3.2
percent or more. Standard Chartered Plc fell 6.7 percent after posting a
surprise loss and saying it will raise 3.3 billion pounds ($5.1
billion) in a rights offer. UBS Group AG slid 4.3 percent after
postponing a profitability target.
The
Stoxx Europe 600 Index added 0.4 percent at the close of trading,
reversing earlier losses of as much as 0.3 percent. It rose yesterday
after euro-area and U.S. manufacturing data beat estimates.
The
Stoxx 600 has climbed 12 percent since a Sept. 29 low, including last
month’s best gain since 2009, as European Central Bank President Mario
Draghi’s said policy makers will consider additional easing in December.
Draghi speaks in Frankfurt after European markets close today.
Among
other stocks moving on corporate news, TDC A/S and Dufry AG gained 3.8
percent or more after reporting quarterly earnings that beat estimates.
Volkswagen
AG lost 1.5 percent after U.S. regulators said their testing found some
models including Porsche have equipment to alter emissions systems,
allegations the carmaker denied. Porsche Automobil Holding SE lost 1.2
percent.
PostNL
NV tumbled 20 percent after forecasting a drop in annual earnings,
citing regulatory measures and higher restructuring costs.
