European stocks gave up earlier gains on Thursday as British lawmakers cast doubt on a draft Brexit deal agreed between the U.K. and the European Union.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 closed was higher 0.1% at 393.08 by Thursday’s close, with healthcare and financial services stocks leading gains while food and beverages incurred the heaviest losses, slipping 0.8% lower.
The European blue-chip index had initially jumped 0.7% after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted that a “great new deal” had been reached before European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker confirmed the agreement.
