EUROPEAN shares closed at their highest level in over a month on Tuesday, with investors welcoming signs of a resumption of Middle East peace talks, even as LVMH and other companies warned of fallout from the war.

The pan-European index closed 1 per cent higher at 619.95 points, while other regional bourses also rose. Germany’s DAX, Spain’s IBEX 35 and France’s CAC 40 added over 1 per cent each.
