AlQa'dah 12, 1436, August 27, 2015, SPA -- European shares rose on Thursday, buoyed by gains on Asian and U.S. markets after a U.S. central bank official said the prospect of a September rate hike seemed "less compelling" than before, Reuters reported. The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index, which fell 1.9 percent on Wednesday, bounced back up by around 3 percent, as did the euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index . The FTSEurofirst remains down by around 10 percent in August due to earlier slumps caused by the worries over China, and the index is at risk of its biggest monthly loss in four years.
