World stock markets surged Tuesday on the back of an easing in both coronavirus lockdowns and China-US tensions, dealers said. Investors also tracked violent anti-racism protests gripping some of the United States’ biggest cities after the killing of a black man by a police officer. In Europe, Frankfurt was the star performer with a near 4.0-percent gain in afternoon deals, as German investors played catch-up after a long holiday weekend and eyed hopes of a new COVID-19 domestic stimulus package.—AFP
