• Global stocks climbed on Tuesday as investors largely ignored mass protests in the US, threats from President Donald Trump to deploy military forces to quash the protests, and a backdrop of escalating US-China tensions.
• Stocks in Europe jumped Tuesday, with the pan-European Stoxx 50 up more than 3%. Futures for the S&P 500 rose 0.5%.
• Analysts say the rise in stocks could be explained by investors choosing to focus on unprecedented aid from central banks and government intervention. 
• "Other than insurance and possibly reinsurance, the protests themselves should not directly impact financial markets," said Jeoff Hall, managing economist at Refinitiv.
