#Europeanshares steadied on Tuesday (Apr 24) as a batch of company updates failed to set a clear trend and chipmakers were weighed down by a warning of a downturn in orders by Austria-based chipmaker AMS, which supplies Apple. The pan-European #STOXX600 benchmark ended flat at the end of a choppy day. The #FTSE100 rose on Tuesday, supported by Shire’s shares as the company received a revised takeover proposal from Takeda. London’s blue-chip index closed the day up 0.36% or 26.53 points at 7,425.4 points.

The #Stoxx600 added 1% to 323.63 at the close, rebounding from its lowest level in almost four months. After climbing 16% from a February low to an April 20 high, the Stoxx 600 has struggled to maintain momentum amid lackluster earnings, skepticism over the European Central Bank’s stimulus program and worries over global growth. #Glencore Plc climbed 6.5%, helping commodity producers post the biggest increase of the 19 industry groups on the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, as metals advanced.

The pan-European #STOXX600 provisionally closed down over 1.07%, with all major indices and sectors in negative territory. #Europeanstocks followed the negative lead set in Asia overnight after negative industrial profits data from the world's second-largest economy, China. Profits slipped 0.1% on year in September, from an 8.8% tumble in the previous month, but despite the monthly improvement, economists remained pessimistic.

Earnings continued to pour in from European corporates. Oil giant BP said it was cutting costs once again amid a low oil price. The company is now planning for around $60 per barrel price for Brent crude until at least 2017. Other oil names sank even lower as the oil price continued to come under pressure. Tullow Oil saw shares off by 4.6%. Continued pressure on commodity prices hit the mining sector, with Glencore, BHP Billiton and Anglo American all closing deep in the red.

Swiss watchmaker #Swatch Group finished in negative territory while the likes of #Burberry and #LVMH also finished lower.

Shares in #ZurichInsurance finished over 9% lower after it was named in a Reuters report as a potential buyer of Old Mutual's Italian wealth management unit. Shares of German carmakers #BMW, #Daimler and #Volkswagen, the owner of #Audi, all closed lower after reports that #Amazon is looking to take a stake in #Nokia's HERE mapping system which the auto giants bought last year.

France's #CAC40 was off 0.3%, and Germany's #DAX slipped to close down 0.3%. Italy's #FTSEMIB closed up around 1.5%.

Oil major #BP reported a pretax loss of $865m in Q1 of 2016, as low oil prices continue to plague the company.

Only a cluster of #Europeanstocks closed in the red on Monday. The worst performer on the STOXX 600 was German agricultural chemical company K+S, whose shares closed nearly 25% lower after Canada's Potash Corp withdrew its 7.9 billion ($8.9 billion) bid. Underperformers also included French airline Air France-KLM, which closed 0.7% higher. The carrier is expected to cut around 2,900 jobs and a meeting discuss the matter was stormed by angry staff on Monday.
