Stocks rose in Europe and Asia on Tuesday after technology industry shares hit record highs on Wall Street and investors focused on strong corporate earnings while shrugging off weaker-than-expected Chinese factory activity data. European stock markets opened higher after the May 1 holiday, reflecting the bullish mood on Wall Street, where the closely watched "fear gauge" of implied equity market volatility closed at its lowest since before the global financial crisis. Forecast-beating earnings have helped push shares higher across the globe this year. The US dollar hit a one-month high against the safe-haven Japanese yen on some signs of easing tensions over North Korea and as U.S. bond yields rose after U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the government was looking into issuing ultra-long debt of maturities in excess of 30 years.
