BoE rate cut lifts European stocks futures

Futures for London's blue chip index FTSE 100 jumped in early trading on Wednesday after the Bank of England cut interest rates by half a percent to bolster Britain's economy against disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak.

Futures for other European bourses, such as Germany's DAX or Paris' CAC 40 were up 0.5% and 1.3% respectively.
