In corporate news, Atos slumped 5.4 percent after announcing that it has received four distinct offers to help bail out the debt-laden IT company.

TotalEnergies rose about 1 percent as oil prices climbed amid rising tensions in Gaza and after Saudi Arabia hiked June crude prices for most regions.

Eutelsat dropped 1.4 percent. The satellite operator confirmed that it is analyzing options for its ground station network.
