Europe's major stock markets rebounded Tuesday, tracking recovery-fuelled gains elsewhere on the eve of an interest rate decision from the US Federal Reserve. London's benchmark FTSE 100 index of major blue-chip companies added 0.6 percent 6,789.17 points. In the eurozone, Frankfurt's DAX 30 also gained 0.6 percent to 14,545.52 points and Paris added 0.3 percent to 6,053.52. European stocks had retreated on Monday after more countries halted use of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine. Nevertheless, optimism over the economic recovery helped push Asian markets higher Tuesday following another record on Wall Street, with the focus on the Fed's much-anticipated policy meeting this week. rfj/bmm
