Stocks have shown a lack of direction over the course of the trading day on Tuesday after failing to sustain an early upward move. The choppy trading extends the lackluster performance that was seen throughout the previous session. The major averages are currently posting modest gains but have pulled back off their highs for the session. While a recent series of scandals have caused headaches for the White House, the results of a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday suggest that the news has not had an impact on President Barack Obama's approval rating. The poll showed that 51 percent of Americans approve of the way Obama is handling his job as president compared to 44 percent that disapprove. U.K. consumer price inflation slowed more-than-expected to a seven-month low in April on falling petrol and air fares, official data revealed Tuesday. The slowdown provides relief for consumers as it raises purchasing power, while it gives more scope for the central bank to ease monetary policy.
