European stocks advanced on Tuesday, buoyed by resilient retail demand and expectations of a significant interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index rose by 0.4% as retail and travel stocks led the gains, while healthcare and real estate stocks lagged. U.S. retail sales increased for the fourth consecutive month, further influencing market sentiment.
