Brussels, June 15 (QNA) - European stock indices opened higher on Monday following the conclusion of an agreement on a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, which led to oil prices falling to their lowest level since March and contributed to lower interest rates.

Among the major markets, the French stock index, CAC 40, rose by 1.84%, while the British FTSE 100 in London gained 0.80%.

Meanwhile, Germany’s DAX in Frankfurt went up by 1.74%. (QNA)
