A YouGov poll showed late Tuesday that U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May could fall short of winning an overall majority at next week's general election. She decided to call a snap election to strengthen her parliamentary position and have more power in Brexit negotiations with the EU but her gap from the Labour party has significantly narrowed over the past few days.
Meanwhile, France and Germany want to agree on a new common corporation tax system before elections for the French National Assembly next month, the German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
In the corporate world, Metro bank and Deutsche Boerse are due to report Wednesday.
Ireland has launched an IPO on its state-owned Allied Irish Banks on Tuesday, in what's seen as the largest bank listing since 2008. In Italy, the sector continues to be under pressure as reports indicate that Banca Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca might be wound down.
