European stock markets rebound at open

LONDON: Europe's main stock markets rose at the start of trading on Friday, with London's benchmark FTSE 100 index up 0.4 percent to 6,355.14 points.

In the eurozone, Frankfurt's DAX 30 advanced 0.4 percent to 11,123.81 points and the Paris CAC 40 won 0.3 percent to open at 4,929.34 compared with Thursday's close.
