LONDON - European shares rose to a five-month high on Thursday after Britain’s parliament voted to reject a disorderly Brexit.
Sentiment improved from cautious to upbeat after the open, before a vote on Thursday evening to delay leaving the European Union.“We now see a 60 percent chance that a close variant of the prime minister’s current Brexit deal is eventually ratified,” Goldman Sachs analysts wrote. The probability of a no-deal Brexit was now 5 percent, they said.
Germany’s GEA rose 8.3 percent and France’s Lagardere gained after giving more details about its divestment plans.
