LONDON: Europe's main stock markets rallied at the start of trading on Thursday, rebounding from heavy falls the previous session as world equities extend a run of volatility.

London's FTSE 100 benchmark index jumped 1.5 percent to 5,925.6 points compared with Wednesday's close.

In the eurozone, Frankfurt's DAX 30 index rose 0.9 percent to 9,522.7 points and the Paris CAC 40 won 1.2 percent to 4,276.2.
