LONDON (ShareCast) - Europe’s main markets are slightly higher, having recorded the worst one day fall ever on Monday, helped by strong energy stocks.

Australia helped to spark an early rally among banking stocks after its central bank cut overnight interest rates to 6% from 7%. Most banks have since retreated, with Societe Generale and Deutsche Bank both lower.

Across the markets, the German DAX is up 8 points to 5,395, the French CAC is 39 points higher at 3,751, while the Swiss market rose 15 points to 6,474.

On the positive side, oil and gas companies gained as crude prices climbed back above $90 a barrel. French oil group Total is going well.
