Elon Musk’s Twitter deal has set the tone for a stronger European session as sentiment recovers after hefty China-driven losses.
The FTSE 100 index fell almost 2% last night, but Wall Street closed higher as the Twitter board backed a $44 billion bid from the Tesla chief executive and bond yields eased.
The recovery will be tested by a busy week for quarterly earnings, with Alphabet and Microsoft among tech giants reporting in the US later.
