European Stocks Post Modest Gains Ahead of US Inflation Data

European stocks opened with modest gains on Tuesday—led by the UK’s FTSE 100, which rose 0.9%—amid investor caution as markets await US inflation data and earnings results from major banks.

Markets are monitoring US Treasury yields amid concerns over continued monetary tightening, while Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures declined as pressure on technology stocks persisted.

European stock movements remain contingent on US inflation data and corporate earnings, which will largely determine market direction in the period ahead.
