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.

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.
