European shares rise

European shares ended higher on Tuesday amid investor hopes the U.S. Federal Reserve was nearing the end of its interest rate hiking cycle and as China extended some policy measures to support its battered real estate sector.

The pan-European STOXX 600 (.STOXX) ended 0.7% higher, rising for the third straight session. Irish stocks (.ISEQ) jumped 2.1%, leading the advance among its continental peers.

Irish stocks were boosted by gains in Kingspan (KSP.I) which jumped 15.7% after forecasting record profit for the first half of the year. This also helped the European construction sub-index (.SXOP) add 2.4%.

Fidelity European Trust PLC (LON:FEV) aims to be the cornerstone long-term investment of choice for those seeking European exposure across market cycles.
