FRANKFURT, Jan 26 ― European shares marched higher today as upbeat quarterly results from STMicroelectronics, Sabadell and Nokia eased some worries about the impact of stubborn inflation and slowing economic growth on corporate profit.

Sabadell soared 8.8 per cent as the Spanish lender announced a share buyback and an upbeat full-year outlook, while Finnish telecom equipment maker Nokia rose 4.4 per cent after the company beat quarterly operating profit expectations and forecast higher 2023 sales. Investors also looked forward to the US fourth-quarter Gross Domestic Product data due later in the day that is likely to show the world's largest economy maintained a strong pace of growth, but momentum appears to have slowed considerably towards the year-end due to higher interest rates.
