European markets outperformed their US counterparts today with the FTSE 100 up more than 50 points. European indices have generally managed to hold onto their gains over the past few months, but with the difficulty on Wall Street, it will be difficult for European markets to lay the groundwork for a lasting rebound, the market analyst at IG, Chris Beauchamp. The highly anticipated Euro match between England and Denmark also failed to make any gains for hotel companies on the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250. And when you look at all the rhetoric about the opening, the wearing masks and case numbers, you can see why investors are a little nervous, â€said AJ Bell financial analyst Danni Hewson.
