European Shares Rise After US Strong GDP

European shares rose on Tuesday as investors digested revised third quarter gross domestic product (GDP) data from the U.S., which showed the economy grew more than previously thought.

The pan-European Euro Stoxx 600 Index was slightly higher, while new data from Germany confirmed the economy grew 0.1 percent in the third quarter from the second, pushing the DAX 0.7 percent higher.

Market chatter on Tuesday morning also involved the possibility of quantitative easing by the European Central Bank with its governing council set to meet in the latter part of next week.

U.S. stocks turned lower on Tuesday, after the S&P 500 hit another peak, after data had the U.S. economy growing more than previously forecast in the third quarter and consumer confidence dipped in November.

Already modestly higher, stock futures furthered their gains after the Commerce Department reported gross domestic product climbed at a 3.9 percent annualized rate, up from an initial 3.5 percent estimate.
