Stocks -Europe<\/span><\/h2>\n

European stocks were seen climbing on Tuesday, rising for a third day as markets across the region reopened after the Easter holiday. Stocks in the US were seen trading higher while in Asia, stocks were in between losses and gains.<\/p>\n

In the US, stocks climbed for a fifth day, as the benchmark Standard & Poor\u2019s 500 Index booked its longest rally since October 2013. The ruble weakened on Tuesday as the US warned Russia with further sanctions against the country which may come within the next few days. Officials from Russia, Ukraine, the US and the European Union have tried to make efforts to ease the crises between the nations, by meeting in Geneva and holding talks on Thursday.<\/p>\n

However, the tension continues to escalate as the deadly shootout that occurred over the weekend left at least three people dead in a city in eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n
