European shares climbed higher in early trading on Tuesday, helped by energy stocks tracking a rally in crude oil prices and bond-proxy sectors such as utilities rebounding following a slight drop in yields, Reuters reported. The benchmark STOXX 600 rose 0.3 percent in early trades. The European utilities index, which fell to a 3-year low in the previous session, rebounded around 2 percent as euro zone government bond yields dropped across the board after a six-week sell-off.
