European stocks edged higher on Thursday and oil prices fell more than 1 percent toward $96 a barrel as Israel and Lebanon agreed to renew their fragile ceasefire following days of bombardment and drone strikes.

The pan-European STOXX 600 edged up by 0.2 percent to 622.14 after falling 0.7 percent on Wednesday.
