The pan-European STOXX 600 was up 0.9 percent by 0717 GMT, while Germany's trade-sensitive DAX .GDAXI jumped 1.1 percent.

A deal struck by EU leaders on immigration in the early morning also help improved sentiment.

“The migrant crisis in Europe threatened German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s fragile coalition, which was in danger of collapsing if she left the summit without a deal”, commented Jasper Lawler, head of research at London Capital Group.
