        <Summary>Spread bets and CFDs on European markets</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;European markets are heading higher today as economic data continues to show growth. Indeed,&lt;b&gt; spread betting&lt;/b&gt; and contracts for differences on European stocks should consider the help they are getting from improved data -- a difference underscored by the sluggish U.S. economic growth reported in the &lt;a href="item/257015" target="_blank" title="spread betting, CFDs, European markets, spread bets, contracts for differences, FTSE 100, Beige Book"&gt;Beige Book&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;BusinessWeek offers a look at the support &lt;b&gt;European markets&lt;/b&gt; are receiving right now, thanks to &lt;a href="http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-07-29/european-stocks-climb-telefonica-astrazeneca-lead-advance.html" target="_blank" title="spread betting, CFDs, European markets, spread bets, contracts for differences, FTSE 100, Beige Book"&gt;economic data&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p class="indent"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;     &amp;ldquo;Earnings releases have been positive and 
underscore the health of the corporate sector,&amp;rdquo; Jeffrey Palma, a global 
equity strategist at UBS AG in Stamford, Connecticut wrote in a report. 
&amp;ldquo;&lt;b&gt;Macro data have been mixed, but have surprised consistently to the 
upside&lt;/b&gt; in Europe. On balance we see a sustained growth recovery.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;European stock markets have headed higher, and the &lt;b&gt;FTSE 100&lt;/b&gt; is gaining as well. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
