The STOXX 600 acquired 0.5%, euro zone equities along with blue-chips rallied 0.6%, spurred by strong revenues from construction stocks and miners, while the retail sector went down 1.3%.
Carrefour stocks edged down 14%, set for their worst daily decline for 20 years.

The supermarket chain explained that weaker than expected first-half profits were caused by the fact that intense competition in the retail sector put pressure on margins.
As for French peer Casino, it also demonstrated a 5% dip because market participants faced similar pressures.
