29 April 2023 10:21 (UTC +04:00)

Global stock markets mostly rose Friday following modestly positive economic data in Europe and the United States, APA-Economics reports.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 220.87 points, or 0.65%, to 34,047.03, the S&P 500 gained 28.26 points, or 0.68%, to 4,163.61 and the Nasdaq Composite added 56.01 points, or 0.46%, to 12,198.24.

European equities ended the session in positive territory after a morning in the red, shrugging off official data confirming that the eurozone economy only just eked out growth in the first three months of the year.

German DAX index rose by 0.77% to 15,922.38 points, the FTSE 100 index by 0.50% to 7,870.57 points, and the French CAC-40 index by 0.10% to 7,491.50 points.
