European stocks were trading higher on Tuesday, adding to the previous session's rally sparked by comments from ECB President Mario Draghi that raised the prospects of further stimulus steps.
Investors were also betting on Germany's ZEW survey for November, due at 1000 GMT, to start showing some signs of a stabilisation and reverse 10 straight months of declines.
Stoxx 50 was up 24.80 points or 0.81 per cent at 3,084.79, FTSE 100 gained 17.60 points or 0.26 per cent to 6,671.97 and CAC 40 climbed 14.09 points or 0.33 per cent to 4,240.19.
Draghi had said on Monday that the ECB stimulus is gaining traction but should it turn out that its current efforts are not sufficient to accelerate the euro zone recovery, the central bank is ready to do more.
