European stocks traded mixed on Tuesday as investors looked ahead to the release of U.S. inflation data along with the ECB policy meeting this week for directional cues.
The pan European STOXX 600 was marginally lower at 456.05 after gaining 0.3 percent on Monday.
The German DAX fell 0.4 percent and France's CAC 40 slipped 0.1 percent, while the U.K.'s FTSE 100 was up 0.4 percent, driven by a weaker pound after the release of mixed labor market data pointing to a cooling labor market but strong wage growth in July.
