European Stocks Open Higher; Stoxx 50 Up 0.77%

The breadth is the story here: gains run from the eurozone's large-cap benchmark down through the DAX and CAC, while the FTSE 100's much smaller advance suggests the move is concentrated in continental Europe rather than a uniform risk-on session. The UK's underperformance is notable given it often trades on different sector weightings, so the gap points to a region-specific driver rather than a single global catalyst. Whether the continental lead holds through the session, or narrows toward London's pace, is the open question.
