European markets have opened higher today, amid investors’ speculation that today’s Eurozone and German economic sentiment data would be encouraging. Markets also traded higher, taking cues from Japanese stocks, after the Bank of Japan doubled the size of its fund to spur bank lending.

Closer home, investors will keenly watch UK inflation data due later today to gauge further market direction.
