Railroads business Alstom gained 2.81 percent after it announced the signing of an agreement to supply ERTMS signaling system for central and southern Italy.

Publicis Groupe, the world's third-biggest advertising group added 2.7 percent in the day's trade following Tuesday's announcement that raised its full-year guidance for the second time this year. The company had also reported third quarter organic revenue growth ahead of expectations.
