Europe and Asia didn't see sharp reactions and weneed to takethat as a positive, saidRichard Flax, chief investment officer at Moneyfarm.
DATA TAKES CENTRE-STAGE
Sweden's benchmark index.OMXS30 was up 0.6% after its GDP declined by 0.3% in the second quarter.
Spain's benchmark IBEX 35 .IBEX gained 0.3% after data showed that inflation fell to 2.4% in August.
Investors now await data on European economic and business sentiment, due at 0900 GMT, while German consumer prices figures are expected at 1200 GMT.
Headline inflation is expected to slow to 2.3% for Germany and 2.5% for Spain. Any downward surprises in the data, coming later in the day, will feed into the eurozone inflation reading due on Friday and add to the case of a more dovish stance by European Central Bank (ECB)policymakers.
Markets will look out for commentary from the ECB'schief economist, Philip R. Lane, who is participating in a panel at 0915 GMT.
Other ECB deputy governors, such as Aino Bunge and Olli Rehn, also are taking part in panel discussions.
"The narrative from the ECB will be a fairly cautious narrative. Not wanting to of commit too much," Moneyfarm's Flax said.
French spirit makers' shares rose after China dropped provisional measures on brandy imported from the European Union.
Remy Cointreau RCOP.PA and Pernod Ricard PERP.PA both rose 4% and 8%, respectively.
Among other stocks, Delivery Hero DHER.DE rose 5.2%to the top of the STOXX 600 after the German online takeaway food company reported stronger-than-expected growth it its second-quarter gross merchandise value.
