2014.02.0523:58:46UTC+00European stocks falter before ADP employment data

The European stocks traded varied at the opening on Wednesday, as investors stayed cautious about the US employment report.

The ADP employment data will be released at 1:15 p.m. in London (or 8:15 a.m. EST), and could denote whether the non farm-payrolls report out on Friday will reflect a shift in the US labor market.

The Stoxx Europe 600 index accelerated 0.1% to 317.95, leading to sweep a three-day losing snap. Alfa Laval AB recouped 5.7%, following their 4th quarter earnings report.

Swatch Group AG increased 4.7%, following a better earnings for 2013 but Hargreaves Lansdown PLC slipped 4.3% after its earnings report.

Also, UK's FTSE 100 index incurred 0.1% to 6,453.75 but Germany's DAX 30 index went down 0.3% to 9,105.22. France's CAC 40 index dropped 0.1% to 4,112.89.
