UK & European stocks rose at the open following a mostly positive Asian session.

Asia-Pacific markets rose after a rollercoaster week that saw steep sell-offs followed by a sharp recovery, especially in Japan stocks.

Gold prices struggled for momentum as investors looked forward to a key inflation report that could shed more light on the U.S. central bank’s next policy move.

Oil prices were little changed in early Asian trading, holding on to most of last week’s more than 3% gains, supported by geopolitical tensions and better economic data.

In corporate news, BT Group welcomed news that Bharti Global had acquired Altice UK's 24.5% stake in the telecoms carrier.

"We welcome investors who recognise the long-term value of our business, and this scale of investment from Bharti Global is a great vote of confidence in the future of BT Group and our strategy," BT boss Alison Kirkby said.
