European Stocks Gain on the Market

Spread betting and contracts for differences on European stocks
Spread bets and CFDs on the European stock market should consider that things are looking up, thanks to the banking sector. Financial stocks are recovering on news that the U.S. bailout package is a step closer to passage. Bloomberg reports on what is aiding European stocks:

UBS ``is ending a string of bad news,'' said Henk Potts, a London-based fund manager at Barclays Stockbrokers, which has about $45 billion. ``Tough action by the banks in relation to writedowns and getting help from authorities should start to add a little bit more confidence. Investors should also take heart that the U.S. has taken a step in the right direction.''
