European share increases are led by miners and real estate

Europe's primary stock index rose on Tuesday, buoyed by gains in mining shares and a recovery in real estate stocks. Investors are also focusing on corporate earnings, economic data, and global monetary policy developments, which are expected to influence market sentiment in the coming days.

The pan-European STOXX 600 increased by 0.4% as of 0810 GMT, with the basic resources sector leading the way, climbing 1%.

The real estate sector rebounded, rising 0.8% after experiencing a nearly 2% drop on Monday.

Shares of German industrial firm Thyssenkrupp (ETR) surged by 7.5% following its fourth-quarter earnings report, while Swedish gaming group Embracer saw a 3.7% increase after announcing the spinoff of its Tabletop games unit, Asmodee.

Conversely, Swiss hearing aid manufacturer Sonova Holding slipped 2% due to disappointing half-year core earnings.

Attention is also turning to upcoming U.S. Treasury Secretary and Trade Representative appointments under President-elect Donald Trump, following recent selections for health and defense posts.

Investors are closely monitoring signals on global interest rate movements, as Trump's policies are anticipated to drive inflation, complicating potential U.S. rate cuts. Meanwhile, ECB officials have voiced concerns about the impact of expected new U.S. trade tariffs on eurozone economic growth.
