Closing stock market indices

Here is how major stock markets outside the United States ended on Tuesday.
EUROPE STOCKS EXCHANGE: European stocks ended lower, breaking a five-session rising trend after Stora Enso's profit warning hammered the basic industries sector and investors shunned auto makers as the dollar continued down.
The world's top paper and board maker Stora Enso tumbled 6.4 percent after it warned October-December operating profit would halve from the third quarter due in part to less profitable overseas sales and the weaker US dollar.
Finnish peers UPM-Kymmene and M-real followed with losses of 3.8 and 3.5 percent respectively.
The FTSE Eurotop 300 index of pan-European blue chips ended 0.51 percent lower at 987.81 points, down from the session high of 995.72 points.
