European stocks rebounded from a three-month low as earnings from Nordea Bank AB to Kone Oyj topped analyst estimates and sales of new homes in the U.S. exceeded forecasts.

National benchmark indexes gained in all of the 18 western European markets, except Greece. France’s CAC 40 (CAC) rose 2.3 percent, the U.K.’s FTSE 100 increased 0.8 percent and Germany’s DAX Index added 1 percent.
