European stocks rose on Thursday, as optimism returned to financial markets on signs there might be some stimulus after all for the world's largest economy. Asian shares were mostly higher on Thursday on optimism U.S. stimulus may be coming after all, as President Donald Trump appeared to reverse his earlier decision to halt talks on another economic rescue effort.

Markets reacted from the highs after the Nifty made the 4th upgap in the past two weeks. This euphoric rise in the Nifty without backing of any large macro positives suggest continuation of sector rotation. The negative advance decline ratio hints at profit taking across the broader market while the traders seem to be concentrating on stocks / sectors that are announcing news / developments / results.
