European stocks hit six-month high as automakers, insurers gain

- European shares hit their highest in half a year on Tuesday, buoyed by autos and insurance stocks and gains among export-heavy London stocks as Brexit uncertainty weakened the pound.

The index of automakers and parts suppliers rose 1.3 percent, building on Monday’s 3.3 percent gain which came after unexpectedly strong Chinese factory data. European insurers gained 0.9 percent, propped up by London-listed names such as Prudential PLC and Old Mutual Ltd, which both rose at least 2.9 percent.

The Swedish lender’s stock has bounced back almost 10 percent this week after hitting a more than six year low on Friday on its alleged involvement in a money laundering scandal that led to the departure of its chief executive.But telecom stocks dipped 0.2 percent.
