Reuters and Anadolu reports agree on the Paris and London changes. These are closing figures, distinct from the intraday snapshot published at 13:06 GMT.

Reuters links the rise to investors' interpretation of the US elections and falling oil prices. That explanation remains market interpretation. The consulted data differ for some other European indices, so their exact levels are not used here.
