The value of European stocks is rising on Thursday thanks to the growing profits of companies in the technology sector, the record performance of the French manufacturer of alcoholic beverages Remy Cointreau and the steady demand for the products of the Swedish manufacturer of radiation therapy equipment Elekta.
