On the global front, expectations of policy easing by major central banks such as the Federal Reserve propped up global stocks on Tuesday, while the pound sagged as Britain braced for a new prime minister who could pave the way for a no-deal exit from the European Union.

In currency markets, the pound was a touch lower at $1.2477 and headed for its third session of losses, while Sterling was under pressure due to the likelihood of eurosceptic Boris Johnson becoming Britain`s next prime minister, said a Reuters report.
