Germany spearheaded a recovery in European markets following three consecutive days of declines, with stocks posting notable gains by the close of trading. The DAX , which ended slightly lower yesterday due to political turmoil in France raising concerns about government stability, formed a doji candlestick—a potential signal of a bullish reversal after recent losses. European indices opened on a positive note and carried that momentum through the session, closing with solid gains.
