Nov 19 - Europe's main stock index touched its lowest level in three months on Tuesday, as escalating geopolitical tensions, fuelled by Russia lowering its threshold for a nuclear strike, spurred investors to head to safer havens.

The upcoming appointments of a U.S. Treasury secretary and trade representative under President-elect Donald Trump are also in focus after last week's picks for the health and defence roles.
