It was a mixed day for the European majors on Tuesday.
The CAC40 slipped by 0.05%, while the DAX30 and the EuroStoxx600 ended the day up by 0.27% and by 0.33% respectively.
Following the disappointing stats from China at the start of the week, there were no major stats for the markets to consider.
The lack of stats left the majors in the hands of corporate earnings, crude oil prices, and central bank chatter on the day.
Throughout the day, the majors did find support from the U.S markets, however, which closed out in positive territory.
The Stats
It was another particularly quiet day, with no major stats from the Eurozone to provide the majors with direction.
From the U.S
Housing sector stats for September were on the docket that had a muted impact on the majors later in the session.
