European Stocks Slide as Oil Rally Stirs Inflation Fears, Pressures Bonds

European equities fell across major indices on Tuesday as rising oil prices stoked inflation concerns and risk aversion, while sovereign bond yields, particularly long-dated, advanced. The Stoxx 600 dropped 0.29%, with mining, luxury, travel, and banking sectors leading losses. The move reflects market repricing of inflation risk amid higher energy costs, though the magnitude of the oil-driven impact remains uncertain.
