European stocks rise as elections wrap up (CNN Money)

European stock markets moved higher Monday as election results rolled in from the European Union and Ukraine.

Germany's DAX index led the way with a 1.3% rise. Spain's IBEX gained 1.2%, while France's CAC 40 added 0.8%. The euro recovered from earlier declines against the dollar.

Investors seemed relieved as results showed traditional left-center and right-center parties will hold a majority of seats in the European Parliament. However, many voters were increasingly supportive of anti-EU protest parties, which gained significant traction in France, the U.K. and Greece.
