Global stocks were slightly lower Tuesday as concerns over global growth resurfaced, leaving investors questioning whether the strong start to 2019 was a sign of the year ahead or simply a fleeting moment of optimism. The Stoxx Europe 600 was down 0.4% in morning trading, weighed down by bank and mining stocks, with all of the regional indexes moving lower. Most Asian markets also fell, with China’s Shanghai Composite down 1.2%, Japan’s Nikkei 0.5% lower and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index losing 0.7%.
