LONDON (Reuters) – Stocks in Europe flirted with one-year highs on Tuesday, buoyed by hopes that rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine and a huge U.S. stimulus package will translate into a durable economic recovery and draw a line under a year of lockdowns.<\/p>

Oil prices jumped to a 13-month high as a deep freeze due to a severe snow storm in the United States not only boosted power demand but also threatened oil production in Texas.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin was trading at $49,072.84 in Europe, after hitting a new record high $60 shy of $50,000 earlier on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The pan-European STOXX 600 was up 0.19%, after hitting its highest on Monday since late February 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big picture is that there is an awful lot of enthsiasm for recovery when it comes to the vaccine programme,\u201d said Michael Hewson, Chief Market Analyst CMC Markets.<\/p>\n

The prospects for economic recovery lit up commodities, with copper at $8,384.50, after hitting its highest since May 2012. The European mining index at its highest level since July 2011.<\/p>\n

Hospitality stocks could see more gains as restaurants, hotels and pubs reopen in coming weeks. \u201cThey should do well on the back of the \u2018staycation\u2019 trade, Hewson said.<\/p>\n

EU fourth quarter GDP figures and Germany\u2019s Zew economic sentiment data were due on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

But Hewson said most investors were ignoring numbers on past economic performance, opting to look ahead to recovery on the back of an easing in lockdown restrictions going into the summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarkets started the week in a risk-on mood, in light of positive news relating vaccine rollout. Risky assets continued to rise, with stocks performing well in Europe,\u201d UniCredit analysts said in a note.<\/p>\n

The euro crept 0.2% higher to $1.2149.<\/p>\n

On Wall Street, S&P500 futures were up 0.46%. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields touched 1.25% for the first in almost a year.<\/p>\n

The U.S. dollar at 90.229, was mired at a three-week low as growing optimism about recovery sent investors into riskier currencies, including the euro and British pound.<\/p>\n

U.S. President Joe Biden is pushing ahead with his plan to pump an extra $1.9 trillion in stimulus into the economy, in a further boost to market sentiment.<\/p>\n

NIKKEI RALLY<\/h2>\n

Market sentiment in Europe was helped by gains overnight in Asian shares, with Japan\u2019s Nikkei blue chip index up to 1.28% at a 30-year high.<\/p>\n

MSCI\u2019s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan gained 0.44%.<\/p>\n

In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index rose 1.9% to hit a 32-month high, while Australia\u2019s S&P\/ASX200 gained 0.7% for the session. Mainland Chinese markets will remain closed for the holidays until Thursday.<\/p>\n

Ord Minnett advisor John Milroy said while share markets were positive investors were becoming wary of the future risk of inflation due to central bank and government stimulus programmes in place around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a clear sense with rates staying low for some time yet and investor appetite for equities staying strong we will likely see markets hold up for some time yet,\u201d Milroy told Reuters.<\/p>\n

The bullish view on the economy lifted bond yields, with the 10-year U.S. Treasuries gaining to 1.23%, its highest since late March.<\/p>\n

Investors are looking to the minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve\u2019s January meeting, due to be published on Wednesday, for confirmation of its commitment to maintain its dovish policy stance over the near future. That in turn is set to keep a tab on bond yields.<\/p>\n

Brent crude was flat at $63.28 a barrel, after rising to its highest since January 2020 in the previous session. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures gained 60 cents, or 0.7%, to $59.89 a barrel.<\/p>\n
