Europe Index Futures Rise After Stocks Climb for First Day in 4

European stock-index futures advanced after German lawmakers said the nation is open to discussing debt relief with Greece’s next government.

Contracts on the Euro Stoxx 50 Index expiring in March climbed 1.4 percent to 3,046 at 5:16 p.m. in London after the region’s shares rebounded from an almost three-week low. While writing off Greek debt isn’t on the table, talks on easing the repayment terms on aid that Greece received from European governments are possible after the Jan. 25 parliamentary elections, lawmakers in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition said.
