The STOXX index of 600 European companies rose 0.45%, up for a third straight session, to recoup nearly half its losses during January’s global rout in shares.On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.46%and the S&P 500 gained 0.67%.Last month, the tech-heavy index fell as much as 19% from its all-time high in November as investors dumped highly valued growth stocks on prospects of faster-than-expected rate hikes.

An OPEC+ source told Reuters the producer group agreed to increase oil production by 400 000 bpd from March after a short meeting.The bond market sell-off since the start of the year stalled on Tuesday, with benchmark US 10-year Treasury yields hovering near their lowest levels in a week.The two-year US Treasury yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, was down 0.5 basis points at 1.160%.
