TOKYO — World shares were mixed on Tuesday, with European benchmarks falling after a day of gains in Asia that carried over from a rally on Wall Street.
Asian shares were buoyed by stronger than expected manufacturing data from China. But other new economic indicators were mixed. As coronavirus outbreaks expand in many countries, analysts say prospects for a global recovery from the pandemic remain uncertain.
France’s CAC 40 lost 0.3% to 4,929.29, while Germany’s DAX shed 0.2% to 12,206.34. Britain’s FTSE 100 lost 0.7% to 6,181.71. U.S. shares were set to drift lower with Dow futures down 0.6% at 25,333.00. S&P 500 futures were down 0.4% at 3,034.30.
