(AFX UK Focus) 2007-11-14 17:40 GMT: Euroshares end volatile day with gains, technology sector outperforms UPDATE
LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Europe's leading exchanges ended a volatile session with gains today, with the technology sector impressing investors following fourth-quarter results from chip maker Infineon and a broker upgrade at JP Morgan for Alcatel-Lucent. The Dow Jones STOXX 50 closed 21.18 points or 0.57 pct higher at 3,733.05, while the STOXX 600 ended the session 1.94 points or 0.53 pct higher at 370.46. "We've seen an upbeat, but nervous market today," one Frankfurt-based trader said after investors followed Wall Street and the banking sector through several ups and down during the session. "The banking sector recovered a little, thanks to comments from Goldman, but every time we reach critical levels, new rumours arrive," he added, pointing to speculation surrounding Alliance & Leicester earlier today, which were promptly rebuffed as the bank confirmed its share buyback programme and said it continues to raise funds when needed.
