Stoxx 600 still faces weekly loss
European stocks gained ground Friday, modestly recovering from a
U.S. politics-spurred selloff the prior day that should drag major
regional benchmarks lower for the week.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index ) rose 0.4% to 390.60, with only the
telecom sector in the red. The move follows the lead of U.S. stocks

The pan-European benchmark is facing a loss of 1.3% for the
week, which would be its first decline in four weeks, FactSet data
show. The drop came as part of a rout in global equities that
followed a report that U.S. President Donald Trump tried to stop

a Federal Bureau of Investigation probe into links between his
associates and Russian officials.
The report fueled questions about the Trump administration's
ability to secure tax cuts, higher fiscal spending and looser
regulatory rules. The prospect of an economic boost from these
changes has helped push stocks worldwide up to records since
Trump's election in November.

"U.S. policy uncertainty is arguably greater than at any time
since last November's elections, but that should not entirely cloud
what remains a generally supportive growth backdrop for equity
markets, especially in the eurozone," said Ian Williams, an
economist and strategist at Peel Hunt, in a note.
Earnings for European companies rose by an average of 23% during
the first quarter, said J.P. Morgan on Thursday. European sales
growth of 10% was the strongest globally.
"[First-quarter] earnings delivery was the best in six to seven
years, with above-average positive surprises and double-digit
growth seen in all the main regions," said J.P. Morgan equity
strategist Emmanuel Cau in a research note. "Top line was
particularly strong, helped by higher commodity prices, the pick-up
in inflation and the rebound in global activity."
Individual indexes: Germany's DAX 30 rose 0.3% to 12,627.42 and
France's CAC 40 picked up 0.5% to 5,315.11.
