Bank and automaker stocks posted gains, with Unicredit, BBVA, Deutsche Bank, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW all rising more than 1%. BP rose 1.5% after agreeing to sell a stake in its US shale assets to Sixth Street for $1.5 billion. Nokia shares rose nearly 4%. Conversely, Ryanair fell nearly 2% despite posting slightly better-than-expected profit after tax, while noting that it was too early to provide detailed projections for the year.
