European stock markets mid-session: FTSE adds gains, CAC40 loses, DAX closed

European indices were little changed in quiet trading after a six-day rally driven by a rebound in energy shares, the FED's "patient" approach to raising interest rates and the U.S. economy expanding more than anticipated.

In today's session the FTSE 100 index added +0.07% quoted at 6,603.05 points extending its gains for a seventh day, whereas France's CAC 40 lost -0.37% in shortened trading quoted at 4,299.12. In Germany bourses are closed today. Yesterday the DAX30 added +0.57% closing at 9,922.11 points. The London Stock Exchange will close at 12:30 GMT; Euronext will close at 13:05 GMT half an hour later.
