European stock markets rebound at open
Frankfurt's benchmark DAX 30 index of top companies won 2.37 percent to 9,674.61 points.
LONDON (AFP) - Europe s main stock markets rebounded Wednesday at the open as investors snapped up bargain shares, after recent heavy falls that were sparked by global growth worries.
Frankfurt s benchmark DAX 30 index of top companies won 2.37 percent to 9,674.61 points, with troubled German carmaker Volkswagen leaping 5.78 percent to 100.70 euros.
Elsewhere, London s FTSE 100 index jumped 1.65 percent to 6,006.98 points and the Paris CAC 40 leapt 2.07 percent compared with Tuesday s close to 4,433.76.
The region s equities slid Tuesday on global growth jitters, adding to heavy losses at the start of the week, but Swiss mining giant Glencore s shares had rebounded on assurances of solvency.
In initial trade on Wednesday, Glencore saw its London shares gain another 6.55 percent to stand at 85.51 pence.
Glencore s share price collapsed by almost 30 percent on Monday, rocked by gloomy analyst comments and worries about slowing economic growth in key commodity consumer China.
