European stocks edged higher in early trading on Thursday (16th). The UKs February economic growth exceeded expectations, while markets continued to monitor corporate quarterly results and US-Iran ceasefire negotiations.

The pan-European STOXX 600 Index rose 0.74 points, or 0.1%, to 618.01. The UKs FTSE 100 Index gained 14 points, or 0.1%, to 10,573; Frances CAC 40 Index climbed 30 points, or 0.4%, to 8,304; Germanys DAX Index added 41 points, or 0.2%, to 24,107; Spains IBEX 35 Index rose 15 points, or less than 0.1%, to 18,201; and Italys FTSE MIB Index increased 96 points, or 0.2%, to 48,252.

Supermarket chain Tesco forecast a midpoint for operating profit in the new fiscal year slightly below expectations, but its share price still rose 1.7%. EasyJet warned that the conflict in Iran and rising fuel prices were affecting ticket bookings, sending its shares down 3.8%. Among other stocks, pharmaceutical firm Novo Nordisk advanced 4%, while software stock SAP gained 2.3%.

TotalEnergies slipped 0.6%. The company said that even if the conflict in Iran suppresses output, robust oil trading and elevated oil prices would boost first-quarter earnings. BP rose 0.6%, Shell fell 0.4%, and Equinor declined 0.7%.
