European Markets Close Higher after ECB Cuts Rates
European stocks rose Thursday as investors in the region digested the European Central Bank's move to further ease monetary policy.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 closed 0.78% higher. All major regional bourses ended the day in the green, with Germany's DAX closing 0.97% higher.

The European Central Bank (ECB) slashed rates again by 25 basis points on Thursday, marking its second reduction to the deposit rate this year, but said it was not "pre-committing" to a future path for rates.
