European Stocks Boosted by Bayer and Clean Energy Surge

European stocks experienced a lift on Tuesday, driven by a surge in Bayer shares and strong performances from clean energy sectors. This follows a day after the United States and China agreed to halt their trade war tensions temporarily.

The STOXX 600 index gained 0.3%, reaching a six-week peak and marking its fourth consecutive session of increments. Global equity markets soared on Monday after a U.S.-China agreement to pause tariffs, providing much-needed relief for investors.

Bayer's stocks jumped 9.6% due to favorable first-quarter results, while renewable energy firms like Vestas and Orsted gained ground as U.S. legislative proposals seemed less detrimental than expected.
