LONDON — European stocks are expected to open broadly higher on Tuesday as global markets settled following a short-lived sell-off in cryptocurrencies and precious metals.
The U.K.’s FTSE index is seen opening flat, Germany’s DAX up 0.5%, France’s CAC 40 up 0.6% and Italy’s FTSE MIB 0.4% higher, according to data from IG.
Global markets appear to be calmer after a few days of volatility with gold, silver and cryptocurrency bitcoin plunging last Friday and over the weekend. Precious metals prices rebounded on Monday, however.
Futures linked to the S&P 500 traded higher Monday night after U.S. equities posted a strong start to the new trading month.
Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific markets rose overnight after President Donald Trump said Washington and India had struck a trade deal, and that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had agreed to step up purchases of U.S. products.
Under the deal, India will also stop its purchases of Russian crude oil and instead buy more from the U.S., and potentially, Venezuela, Trump commented in a Truth Social post. India’s benchmark Nifty 50 stock index rose 5% at the open Tuesday, following the president’s comments.
Earnings in Europe come from Publicis and data releases include French inflation and Spanish unemployment figures.
