- Konstantin Giantiroglou, head of investment advisory at Neue Aargauer Bank AG
European stocks rose on Tuesday after a report showed U.S. factory orders climbed in May.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index rose 1.01 per cent to 257.39. Germany's DAX Index gained 1.26 per cent and France's CAC 40 Index advanced 0.96 per cent. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index climbed 0.83 per cent to 5,687.73.
"It looks like we're entering a quieter period," said Konstantin Giantiroglou, head of investment advisory at Neue Aargauer Bank AG in Brugg, Switzerland.
"The market shrugged off yesterday's disappointing U.S. economic data. Providing we don't encounter any serious negative news, the current mood may be able to support markets for a while."
