European stocks open higher as Stoxx 600 reaches intraday record

Published

European shares rose in early trading on 12 November 2026. At 08:06 GMT, the Stoxx 600 was up 0.3% at 665.38 points, an intraday record according to Reuters.

In opening trades described by AFP in a report published at 08:13 GMT, Paris gained 0.66%, Frankfurt 0.94%, London 0.35% and Milan 0.11%. These observations do not necessarily refer to the same minute as Reuters’ figures.

Reuters reported gains of 3.8% for Siemens and 1.6% for Merck following their outlooks. The agencies linked European gains to the region’s smaller exposure to AI-related shares amid technology-sector jitters. This remains a market interpretation. The quoted levels are provisional trading figures, not closing prices.
