European equities wavered Tuesday in the wake of tech-stock fueled gains on Wall Street and bets for less-aggressive interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.

The Stoxx 600 Index erased an early advance to trade little changed. US equity futures ticked lower after the best two-day rally since November for the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100. Treasury yields fell for the first day in four.

Expectations the Fed will moderate its tightening campaign are driving a new year rally for assets from tech to emerging markets. That's also sapped dollar strength and given breathing room to importers outside of the world's biggest economy. A gauge of greenback strength was slightly lower, with the currency also showing weakness versus all of its Group-of-10 counterparts. The rebound in risk assets will be tested this week by a wave of US corporate earnings, especially for marquee names like Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. that will help shape the outlook for the technology sector.
