Investors took heart from data that showed German manufacturing sector activity improved in September, with IHS Markit’s flash PMI rising to 56.6, its highest level in more than two years. The survey showed manufacturers across the euro zone fared much better. However, the survey showed broader business growth ground to a halt this month as the bloc’s service industry slammed into reverse, knocked by a resurgence in coronavirus cases that pushed governments to reintroduce restrictions.

Adidas jumped 6.3 per cent and Puma rose 4.9 per cent after US sportswear maker Nike reported strong earnings and forecast better-than-expected sales for 2020.
