Energy, mining stocks lead gains in Europe's holiday-thinned trade
stocks index rose on Tuesday, with mining and energy stocks leading gains amid light trading volumes ahead of the Christmas break.
The pan-European STOXX 600 was up 0.2%, with many markets either shut or working reduced hours for Christmas Eve.
Most European markets will be closed for the next two days.
With just a few more days to the New Year, investors are looking out for any developments related U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's White House inauguration on Jan. 20. Trump has threatened import tariffs against crucial economies including China and Mexico.
