Shares were higher in Europe on Thursday after most Asian markets advanced following meagre gains on Wall Street driven by a mixed set of company earnings.

The FTSE 100 in London advanced 0.6% to 7,300.45 while Germany's DAX jumped 0.8% to 12,905.81. The CAC 40 in France picked up 0.6% to 5,689.42. Wall Street looked set for gains, with the future contract for the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 0.2% to 26,844.00. The future for the S&P 500 also rose 0.2% to 3,011.00.
