EU equities rise as China stimulus pledge helps safe stocks

LONDON - European stocks were higher on Tuesday as investors bought consumer staples and other stocks considered safer during economic strife after China pledged more stimulus to stabilize slowing growth in the world’s No.2 economy.

Tobacco, healthcare and consumer staples, considered havens during political and economic turmoil, led the gains amid broader gloom about the global economy. British American Tobacco, Anheuser Busch and Unilever were up between 1.2 percent and 2.1 percent. While the cut underlined the strain that has slowed growth and roiled global markets, stimulus steps reassured investors that Beijing was serious about steadying the economy.

Later in the day, the U.S. ISM non-manufacturing data will offer an insight into Friday’s non-farm payrolls data and is expected to show an improvement on January’s data which came during the U.S. government shutdown.
