European stocks moved lower on Tuesday, extending losses from the previous session.

Oil prices continued to climb, with Brent crude trading above $107 a barrel, adding to concerns over an already challenging inflation outlook. Bond yields also continued to rise, reaching multi-year highs and further weighing on equity valuations and investor sentiment.
