FTSE 100, Dax and Cac close up
The FTSE 100 has closed higher despite paring earlier gains, with analysts partly blaming the loss of momentum on a heavy sell-off in the bond markets.
The index closed 0.34%, or 22.75 points, higher at 6,753.18 points. It was a similar story for Germany's Dax and France's Cac which both closed up after trimming early gains.
The FTSE 100's best performers were banks, with Barclays up 5.23% and RBS up 4.37%.
