Frankfurt - European stocks rebounded Tuesday in the wake of a rally in Asian shares.

Despite another volatile trading day on Wall Street, Europe's blue-chip Stoxx 50 rose 2.7 per cent to 2,115 in early trading.

This was reflected across national bourses with shares in London, Frankfurt and Paris gaining more than 3 per cent as the morning session got under way. Stocks in Zurich were up 1.7 per cent. dpa amc wjh
