European markets ended the week higher Friday after German lawmakers reportedly came closer to agreeing on reforming the country’s so-called debt brake rule. Media reports said Germany’s likely next chancellor Friedrich Merz had won support from the Greens party to hike public borrowing to allow an increase in defense spending.
