Germany’s DAX rose 0.2% to surpass the 24,000 mark on Tuesday, extending gains from the prior day, as hopes grew for an end to the US government shutdown. The Senate passed a compromise budget late Monday after some Democrats joined Republicans, and the Bill is expected to clear the House and reach President Trump’s desk, potentially reopening the government by Friday. Meanwhile, traders eyed fresh economic data and corporate earnings. A speech by ECB President Christine Lagarde is also expected today.
