The benchmark index was headed for its best weekly performance since November 2020 on optimism that peace would be negotiated in the Ukraine conflict that has rattled global markets.
U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke on a video call on Friday about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and Chinese media said Xi underlined that such conflicts are in no-one's interests. "In European markets, we're very close to the levels we're at before the war. We're very far from pricing a negative scenario here," said Alexandre Deruaz, head of portfolio management at Unigestion.
