German Chancellor Angela Markel instilled a small measure of confidence in European investors Monday, saying she would welcome newly elected French President Francois Hollande with "open arms." Stocks dipped, then advanced in the first day of business after elections in Greece and France that were widely seen as rebukes by voters against leaders who favored austerity measures to solve Europe's debt crisis.

Merkel told reporters she is ready to work with the socialist Hollande to promote sustainable growth for the euro zone.
