European stocks rebound on oil and bond relief, weekly losses persist

European equities closed higher on Friday, buoyed by easing oil prices and a pullback in sovereign bond yields, but weekly performance was mixed amid French fiscal risk and Middle East uncertainty. The Stoxx 600 rose 1.03%, with the FTSE 100 and DAX also gaining over 1%. The relief is tentative, as underlying stress in fixed income and geopolitical tensions remain.
