The European market starts rising

The European stock market began trading at a high price on Friday in a form that followed the rise in the global stock market since easing concerns about the US recession raised market sentiment.

Investors also digested data showing that France's unemployment rate fell from 7.5% in the first quarter to 7.3% in the second quarter.

Furthermore, the market will determine the confirmed inflation value for July.

In business-related matters, financial results such as Assiclazioni Generali and Hargreaves Lansdowne are planned.

Euro Stoxx 50 and Stoxx 600 futures rose around 0.2 percent in pre-market trading.
