BRUSSELS, Oct 28 (Reuters) - The Conference Board research group's leading economic index for the euro zone rose 1.2 percent to 100.6 points in September, suggesting a continued recovery in the currency area.
The gain followed increases of 1.8 percent in August and 1.7 percent in July, the group said in a statement on Wednesday, adding that seven of the index's eight components contributed positively in September. (Reporting by Dale Hudson)
