European Stocks Near Longest Weekly Winning Streak
European stocks are doing really well and are about to have their longest winning streak since May.
This means that people who invest in these stocks are making money.
The stocks that are doing the best are in healthcare and industrial goods, while chemicals and mining are not doing as well.
One company, Indra Sistemas SA, got a big contract to run London's public transportation ticketing systems, which made its stock go up.
People are optimistic because they think the economy is going to keep growing, especially with help from Germany's spending.
Even though there are some worries about politics around the world, investors are still feeling good about putting their money into European stocks.
European stocks are set for their fifth straight weekly gain, the longest streak since May.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index is on track to rise about 0.7% for the week.
Healthcare and industrial goods shares outperformed, while chemicals and mining lagged.
Optimism about fiscal stimulus and economic growth outweighed geopolitical concerns.
Indra Sistemas SA gained 3.6% after securing a €1 billion contract for London's public transportation ticketing systems.
