What are markets doing? The Stoxx Europe 600 SXXP, +0.28% rose 0.3% to 380.68. The rise comes after the index’s biggest one-day fall since June 25, as well as its third decline of the past four sessions. The pan-European gauge is down 1.4% thus far this week, on track for its third straight weekly drop, as well as down 2.2% thus far in 2018. Germany’s DAX 30 DAX, +0.43% rose 0.3% to 12,202.53, a partial recovery from a 1.6% slump in Wednesday’s session. France’s CAC 40 PX1, +0.39% rose 0.3% to 5,319.33. The index suffered its steepest one-day percentage drop since March 2 on Wednesday, and if it ends in positive territory on Thursday, that would represent its first positive session of the past five. The U.K.’s FTSE 100 UKX, +0.46% rose 0.2% to 7,516. The euro EURUSD, +0.2820% rose slightly against the dollar, changing hands at $1.1368, compared with $1.1347 late Wednesday in New York. Thus far this year, the euro is down more than 5% against the buck.via
