    European stocks rise; French industrial production beat helps sentiment

    European stock markets traded higher Friday after the U.S. debt ceiling bill passed through Congress, while the latest French industrial production data impressed. The U.S. Senate late on Thursday passed legislation that suspended the government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling for two years, a day after the House of Representatives approved the bill. It now heads to the White House to be signed into law by President Joe Biden, just days before a June 5 deadline for a default which would have had severe economic consequences globally, thus ending a key source of anxiety for financial markets over the past month.

    Markets started the week in the green, with the Ibex 35, CAC 40 and DAX buoyed by U.S. President Joe Biden's confirmation on Sunday that he has reached a tentative agreement to raise the debt ceiling with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, and that the text is ready to be voted on in Congress.

    European stocks mixed; U.K. retail sales impress, but U.S. debt talks continue

    European stock markets traded in a mixed fashion Friday, helped by better-than-expected British retail sales while a deal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling looks set to go to the wire. Data released Thursday showed that retail sales in the U.K. rose 0.5% on the month in April, more than expected, with consumers remaining surprisingly resilient in the face of a cost-of-living squeeze. Sentiment was also boosted by a Reuters report that suggested negotiators appear to be closing in on a deal that would raise the government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling for two years, with just $70 billion separating the groups on a total figure that would be well over $1 trillion.
