European stocks opened higher on Thursday, after a plunge in oil prices and softer U.S. labour data late on Wednesday helped bring U.S. Treasury yields back down from 16-year highs.

Analysts said more evidence would be needed to see if the labour market was cooling. ING FX analysts cautioned in a client note that markets may be putting too much weight on Wednesday’s private payrolls data.
