European stocks rose, erasing an earlier decline, as companies from Deutsche Telekom AG to Repsol YPF SA posted better-than-estimated quarterly profit.

Greece’s former finance minister, Evangelos Venizelos, received a three-day mandate from President Karolos Papoulias today to attempt to form a coalition government. Alexis Tsipras, the leader of the left-wing Syriza coalition, yesterday abandoned his attempt to form a government, forcing Papoulias to turn to Pasok, which came third in the elections.

In the U.K., the Bank of England’s nine-member Monetary Policy Committee halted its program of bond purchases at 325 billion pounds ($525 billion), ending a second round of stimulus, as predicted by 43 of 51 economists in a Bloomberg News survey.

National benchmark indexes rose in every western-European market except Switzerland and Iceland. France’s CAC 40 added 0.4 percent and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 rose 0.3 percent. Germany’s DAX gained 0.7 percent. Spain’s IBEX 35 Index surged 3.4 percent while Greece’s ASE Index rallied 4.2 percent.

Deutsche Telekom climbed 3 percent to 8.80 euros. Europe’s second-largest telephone company reported first-quarter earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation that slipped 0.1 percent to 4.48 billion euros ($5.8 billion).

Repsol YPF rallied 8.2 percent to 14.21 euros, its largest gain in two years. Spain’s biggest oil company beat analyst estimates for first-quarter earnings, posting profit of 792 million euros as higher oil prices buoyed income from its drilling and production operations.

UniCredit SpA gained 6.8 percent to 2.84 euros. Italy’s biggest bank said first-quarter profit rose 13 percent to 914 million euros as higher trading income more than offset a drop in fees and lending.

The euro rose from a three-month low as Europe’s bailout fund confirmed that aid to Greece had been received and officials said progress was made forming a government, easing concern the nation will leave the monetary union. Greece’s socialist leader Evangelos Venizelos said he saw the first “good omen” in four days of attempts to form a coalition government and avert a new election. Greece “can continue to function with the disbursement,” commission spokesman Olivier Bailly told reporters in Brussels after yesterday’s European Financial Stability Facility decision to disburse immediately only 4.2 billion euros ($5.4 billion) of a 5.2 billion-euro loan tranche. The remaining 1 billion euros will be “disbursed in due time to cover future needs.”

The British pound rose against the dollar after the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee held its quantitative easing target at 325 billion pounds ($525 billion), ending a second round of stimulus.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rose, rebounding from the lowest level in two months, as Greece attempted to form a new government and a decline in American jobless claims helped allay concern of a labor market setback.

Equities rose as former Greece Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos attempted to form a government that will ensure the nation remains in the euro area. In the U.S., first-time claims for jobless benefits fell last week to a one-month low. Global stocks slumped yesterday amid concern Greece’s debt crisis is worsening as the nation struggles to form a coalition government. The standoff has reignited concerns over its ability to hold to the terms of its two bailouts negotiated since May 2010. With Parliament split, the country at the epicenter of the debt crisis is again facing the risk of an exit from the euro.

Technology shares had the only decline in the S&P 500 among 10 industries. Cisco (CSCO), the biggest maker of computer-networking equipment, slumped 9.5 percent to $17. Chief Executive Officer John Chambers said orders from big companies fell in the third quarter, and it’s taking longer to sign large deals with corporate customers. Cisco is also concerned about demand from Europe, India and government agencies, he said.

MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. sank 22 percent to $2.54, the lowest on a closing basis since November 2001. The second- largest U.S. polysilicon maker, posted a first-quarter loss 20 times greater than a year earlier as solar sales declined by more than one-third.

Oil rose for the first time in seven days as U.S. claims for initial jobless benefits fell last week to a one-month low, adding to optimism that demand in the world’s biggest crude consumer will grow.

Futures increased as much as 0.9 percent after the Labor Department reported jobless claims dropped by 1,000 to 367,000 in the period ended May 5, the lowest since the end of March. The number of people on unemployment benefit rolls was the smallest since July 2008.

The U.S. trade deficit widened more than forecast in March as demand for oil, computers and automobiles propelled imports to a record, the Commerce Department reported.

The cost of crude oil imports in March increased to $29.2 billion from $23.4 billion the previous month, reflecting higher prices and an increase in volumes, the report showed.

Oil declined earlier after China’s April crude imports dropped to the lowest level since December, while exports of goods rose less than estimated.

The world’s second-biggest oil consumer bought 22.21 million metric tons, or 5.4 million barrels a day, more oil than it exported in April, data published on the website of the Beijing-based General Administration of Customs showed. Imports of crude were 22.26 million tons and exports 50,000.

Crude for June delivery gained to $97.69 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The price slumped 8.8 percent in the six-day losing streak.

Brent oil for June settlement slid 42 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $112.78 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange.

 The price of gold, which in recent behaves as risky assets continued to decline in early trading Thursday on fears of investors for the aggravation of the debt crisis in the euro area, as well as weak physical demand for the precious metal.

The unstable political situation in Greece, where, after the last election May 6 party leaders still can not form a government, enhances investors' concerns over worsening debt crisis in the whole euro area.

Aggravated the political situation in the country raises concerns for many investors over the fact that the country may withdraw from the euro zone.

In addition, market participants remained concerned about the demand for the precious metal in the physical market, which remains weak, despite the decrease in the value of precious metals.

The cost of the June gold futures on the COMEX fell today to $ 1585.0 an ounce, then rose to $ 1602.2 and is now trading at $ 1595.2 an ounce.

The yen and dollar fell against most of their major peers as Asian stocks reversed earlier losses, reducing demand for the haven currencies. The yen erased gains after Bank of Japan (8301) board member Sayuri Shirai said the central bank must keep monitoring currency movements. The yen weakened against the euro as the currency’s 14-day relative strength index against the euro rose to 72 yesterday, above the 70 level some traders see as signaling an asset may reverse direction.

Australia’s dollar rallied after the country’s jobless rate unexpectedly fell. Australia’s unemployment rate fell to 4.9 percent in April from 5.2 percent a month earlier, the statistics bureau said in Sydney today. That matches the lowest level since December 2008 and contrasts with a rise to 5.3 percent predicted by economists in a Bloomberg News survey. Payrolls increased by 15,500, compared with the median estimate for a reduction of 5,000 in another poll. The Australian currency pared gains after China reported slower growth in exports and imports. Overseas shipments rose 4.9 percent from a year earlier, the customs bureau said on its website today. That compares with the 8.5 percent median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 33 analysts. Import growth of 0.3 percent trailed forecasts for a 10.9 percent gain. The trade surplus was $18.4 billion, almost double estimates of $9.9 billion.

The euro fell to the lowest in more than three months yesterday as Greek leaders struggled to reach an agreement on implementing austerity measures. Evangelos Venizelos, leader of Greece’s Pasok party and the former finance minister, said he’ll try to form a government when he receives a three-day mandate from President Karolos Papoulias today. Pasok yesterday rejected terms for a government set by Alexis Tsipras of Greece’s anti- bailout Syriza party which then gave up its bid to build a coalition. Euro-area leaders from the European Central Bank’s Joerg Asmussen to German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble have begun to raise doubts that Greece can stay in the monetary union.
