European stocks gained on Thursday, with investors bidding auto makers and pharmaceuticals higher on better-than-forecast earnings.

European stocks gained on Thursday, with investors bidding auto makers and pharmaceuticals higher on better-than-forecast earnings. U.S. stock futures pointed to a higher open.

The Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0.38% to 396.55. Speculation that the European Union will grant the U.K. an extension to Brexit also helped buoy sentiment.

The German DAX added 0.49%, to 12861.02, the French CAC 40 rose 0.36% to 5673.77 and the U.K. FTSE 100 increased 0.67% to 7309.57.

The European Central Bank isn’t expected to change interest rates, as data showed the flash eurozone composite purchasing managers index barely staying over the 50 mark in October. The outlook in Germany in particular was worrisome, with the services PMI falling to a 37-month low.

Futures suggested a higher open for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, after better-than-forecast results from software group Microsoft.

AstraZeneca provided the largest upward pull to the Stoxx 600, with the Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical rising 3.3% as cancer drug sales drove better-than-forecast third-quarter sales and profit.

Daimler rose 4.4% as the Mercedes-Benz producer reported a better-than-forecast operating profit.

Nokia plunged 20% as the Finnish telecom equipment maker lowered its guidance for this year and next.
