European shares edged lower on Tuesday as rising crude prices and surging euro zone bond yields pressured equities, while fading hopes for a lasting peace deal between the United States and Iran added to inflation concerns, Reuters reported.
The pan-European STOXX 600 was down 0.2% at 654.81 as of 0703 GMT. Energy stocks outperformed, rising 0.6% as Brent crude climbed about 0.6% to $91.41 a barrel.
