European stocks dipped and bond yields drifted higher on Tuesday, as data from the euro zone's top economies bolstered the case for the European Central Bank to signal a sizable cut this week to its stimulus measures. Asia had cheered a record-breaking 16th straight gain for Japan's Nikkei index overnight. That kept MSCI's 47-country world share index near its recent all-time highs. Major currencies mainly kept to narrow ranges. The dollar edged down from recent highs as the wait continued for Wednesday's Bank of Canada meeting and Thursday's ECB meeting and for Donald Trump to name the next head of the U.S. central bank after he said on Monday a decision was "very, very close".
