What happened
Four European banks reported better-than-expected third-quarter profits, while one bank reported earnings in line with expectations. The European Central Bank noted that businesses require increased credit.
Why it matters
The mixed results provided some reassurance after earlier concerns regarding European banks' exposure to euro zone government debt and a weaker economic outlook. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index remained subdued amid these earnings and higher oil prices.
