European shares are expected to rebound on Tuesday as investors continue to monitor the spread of the coronavirus and its effect on the global economy.
Back in Europe, several EU member states were plunged into fresh political uncertainty on Monday.
In Ireland, no party managed to secure a clear majority in the country's national election, with Fianna Fail, Sinn Fein and Prime Minister Leo Varadkar's Fine Gael closely tied for seats in parliament. Back in 2016, Irish lawmakers took 70 days to form a new government after an inconclusive election result.
Elsewhere, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, the leader of Germany's CDU party widely expected to replace Angela Merkel as chancellor, announced on Monday she would not run for the top job. Italy's fragile coalition also faced challenges on Monday, as former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, whose Italia Viva party is in a coalition with the 5-Star Movement and Democratic Party, threatened a no-confidence motion against his own justice minister, Reuters reported.
