European shares set to snap 8-day losing run on solid earnings

European shares looked set to snap their longest losing streak in more than two years as good corporate results, particularly from euro zone banks, helped to lend support. The market also got a lift after England's High Court ruled that the government required parliamentary approval to trigger the EU divorce process after Britons voted in June to leave the European Union. The STOXX Europe 600 rose 0.4 percent after hitting its lowest level in nearly four months earlier in the session.
