Continental European equity bourses are trading higher Friday, with airline and carmakers underpinned by fall in crude oil prices. WTI Nymex crude oil is at $125.30, -$1.32. However, FTSE-100 is underperforming given it is heavily weighted in commodity stocks, which currently seem to be out of favour. CAC-40 is up 24pts (+0.48%), Xetra-DAX is up 47pts (+0.67%) and FTSE-100 is down 2 ticks at (-0.04%).
