After trading sightly lower in the past two sessions, the pan-European Stoxx 600 gained 0.8 per cent by 7.17am GMT. Eurozone banks jumped 2.5 per cent after sources told Reuters that European Central Bank officials were drawing up a scheme to cope with potentially hundreds of billions of euros of unpaid loans due to the coronavirus crisis.
Meanwhile, Commerzbank gained 3.9 per cent after US activist investor Cerberus called for changes to the supervisory board and strategy, including more cost cuts. European markets have seen a broader recovery in the recent weeks, with investors moving into cheap, growth-sensitive stocks such as those of banks and oil firms on hopes that the worst fallout from the health crisis is over.
