Why did the Euro Stoxx 50 rise?

Germany's Ifo business climate rose to 90.2 in October from 89.9 in September. The improvement offered support after early pressure from weak banking results and concerns about energy-driven inflation, Hargreaves Lansdown reports.

Oil's retreat and stronger US economic data helped offset disappointing HSBC earnings, Bloomberg reports.
