India, Sept. 17 -- French stocks gained some ground in positive territory on Thursday thanks to weak oil prices and lower bond yields after the Federal Reserve's 25-basis point interest rate hike.

Brent crude futures dropped to a low of $103.34 before recovering to $103.70, still down by over 2% from previous close.

U.S. Treasury yields declined in European trade, reflecting markets' increased trust in the Federal Reserve's resolve to bring inflation under control.
