TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Stocks on the Continent finished on a mixed note on Tuesday, weighed down by weak readings on the Eurozone economy and renewed tensions in periphery debt markets, albeit following big gains during the previous session on hopes that a trade deal between the US and Mexico might foreshadow reduced trade tensions globally.

On that last note, according to the White House, the US President and Germany’s Chancellor spoke on Monday, with both said to have shown “strong support” for the ongoing talks between Brussels and Washington aimed at removing trade barriers.
