LONDON (AP) - European stocks rose and Wall Street was expected to open higher Wednesday after a batch of upbeat earnings reports and ahead of the latest economic update from the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 41.40 points, or 0.8 percent, at 5,078.61 while Germany's DAX rose 59.88 points, or 1.1 percent, at 5,413.23. The CAC-40 in France was 52.26 points, or 1.5 percent, higher at 3,636.51.
Sentiment was buoyed by some forecast-busting earnings in Europe.
