European markets close higher as investors watch U.S. election results
European stocks closed higher on Wednesday as investors around the world kept watch on the results of the U.S. election.
Following a turbulent open, the pan-European Stoxx 600 ended up around 1.9% provisionally, with healthcare stocks jumping almost 4.8% to lead the gains.
The results of the U.S. election are still coming in with polls across the country now closed. Several states remain uncalled, however President Donald Trump was able to successfully defend big states such as Florida, Texas and Ohio, according to NBC News projections.
