European stock markets mid-session: Indices positive after German sentiment beating expectations

European stock indices are trading higher today for a second day after Mario Draghi's comments on Monday that the ECB is willing to add further stimulus to Eurozone's economy and sovereign-bond buying as a possible option if the economic outlook worsens. Much better-than-expected ZEW data on economic sentiment for Germany and the Eurozone further fuelled bullish sentiment.

The FTSE 100 index is currently trading +0.47% at 6,703.06 points, Germany's DAX 30 is up 1.20% trading at 9,417.81 points and France's CAC 40 gained +0.78% currently quoted at 4,258.90 points.
