European stocks perk up as markets slow for Thanksgiving
LONDON/SINGAPORE (Reuters) -European shares ticked up on Thursday after falling the previous day, while Asian stocks slipped, as trading volumes thinned ahead of the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.52%, but Japan's Nikkei climbed 0.56%. European markets were boosted by a rally in tech shares after Bloomberg reported the Biden administration's curb on Chinese chips could be less severe than expected.
