European shares rebound as worries of US involvement in Middle East ease

European shares rebounded on Friday after three sessions of declines, as a stall in the United States' involvement in the Middle East conflict came as a relief to worried investors.

The pan-European STOXX 600 was up 0.4% at 537.98 points at 0708 GMT. The benchmark is on track to log weekly declines for a second week.

In the market, travel and leisure stocks gained the most, up 1.1%, as oil prices eased.

Conversely, energy shares were at the bottom of the index with a 0.7% decline, trimming some gains from this week.
