Brussels, May 19 (QNA) - European stock markets opened slightly higher on Tuesday, temporarily reassured by the continuation of the truce in West Asia, in an inflationary environment marked by oil prices and interest rates remaining at high levels.
After a few minutes of trading, Paris's CAC 40 index once again crossed the symbolic 8,000-point threshold (8,014.75 points, up 0.33 percent). Frankfurt followed the same trend, rising 0.52 percent.
London's FTSE 100 gained 0.48 percent, while Milan was up slightly by 0.16 percent, after falling the previous day. (QNA)
