Meanwhile, ThyssenKrupp soared 2.7% to 16.43 euros, as it dismissed three top executives in an attempt to fix the boardroom associated with corruption allegations and failure to expand in the Americas. Beiersdorf surged 1.9% as the Nivea skin cream maker increased its year sales estimates for the second time in a month. Only four companies dropped with shares of RWE AG tumbling the most, down 1.47%. The company inched lower to 31.82 euros.
