·         The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 0.4 percent, led by a 0.7 percent fall in banks .SX7P.

·         Indexes in Asia were cautious on Tuesday after stocks stumbled and investors turned to safe haven assets in the previous session on the back of North Korea's recent nuclear test.

·         The Nikkei 225 was off 0.15 percent in early trade.

·         South Korea's benchmark Kospi index made cautious gains, climbing 0.1 percent after closing lower by more than 1 percent in the previous session.
