European stocks are set to open higher again Tuesday as investors continue to rush back in to global equity markets following a cooling of tensions between North Korea and the United States.

Britain's FTSE 100 is slated to add around 10 points, or 0.05%, at the start of trading, according to financial bookmaking group IG, with modestly firmer advances expected for markets in France and Germany. Switzerland's SMI, however, looks set for a 0.25% gain thanks to a quick decline in the franc against the U.S. dollar driven by investors moving cash from safe-haven assets into riskier markets.
