European stocks to open flat to higher as investors survey the trade talks, tariff landscape
General view of the City of London skyline, the capital's financial district, in October. Sopa Images | Lightrocket | Getty Images Welcome to CNBC's live blog covering all the action in European financial markets on Tuesday, as well as the latest regional and global business news, data and earnings. Futures data from IG suggests a generally positive start for European markets, with London's FTSE looking set to open unchanged at 8,774, Germany's DAX up 0.2% at 23,955, France's CAC 40 up a notch at 7,679 and Italy's FTSE MIB up slightly at 39,865. The generally positive start for Europe comes as global investors begin to assess the trade talks and the tariff landscape as U.S. President Donald Trump's 90-day reprieve from higher import duties is set to expire next week. Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed overnight as investors assessed the record gains on Wall Street and the prospects for trade deals, while U.S. equity futures were little changed early Tuesday after the S&P 500 notched another record to close out a stunning quarter. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday that there are "countries that are negotiating in good faith." However, he added that tariffs could still "spring back" to the levels announced on April 2 "if we can't get across the line because they are being recalcitrant." Canada walked back its digital services tax in an attempt to facilitate trade negotiations with the United States. Ottawa's move to rescind the new levy comes after President Donald Trump said on Friday that he would be "terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada." — Holly Ellyatt A Tante Enso store in Wörlitz, Germany.

Lottery company sent inaccurate notifications of massive winnings to ‘thousands' in Norway
An error at Norway's state-owned Norsk Tipping caused some people in the Scandinavian country to believe they had scored bigger lottery prizes. However, the information was wrong. Advertisement Norsk Tipping put out push notifications with inaccurate prize figures for Friday's drawing of the Eurojackpot after a 'calculation error when converting from euro cents to Norwegian kroner,' according to a translated version of a Monday press release from the company. The prize amounts should have been divided by 100 in the currency conversion, but a 'manual' error caused them to be multiplied by that figure, the company said. Because of the error, 'thousands' of Eurojackpot lottery players in Norway were inaccurately informed of 'excessively high prizes' via the push alerts, according to a translated version of an earlier release from Norsk Tipping. The company said it took the erroneous figures for prizes off its platforms on Friday evening after the issue was discovered, replacing them with accurate ones the following night, the press release indicated. Advertisement The error left many players disappointed. Still, Norsk Tipping said it did not lead to any individuals receiving incorrect windfalls from the Eurojackpot drawing. Thousands of people in Norway were mistakingly sent a notification telling them they won the Eurojackpot lottery. Friday's drawing for Eurojackpot, a lottery game available in a slew of European countries, did not yield a winner for its top prize. However, many players across Europe landed smaller payouts ranging from €10.70 to over €616,700, according to its website. 'We are terribly sorry that we have disappointed so many people, and completely understand that people are angry with us,' Norsk Tipping said in a statement to FOX Business. 'We have received many messages from people who had already made plans for vacations, buying apartments, or renovations before they realized the amount was incorrect. To them, we can only repeat our strongest apologies – although we understand that it does not offer much consolation.' Advertisement The company, which saw CEO Tonje Sagstuen step down and Vegar Strand appointed on Monday, also said it was 'taking every measure possible' to keep something like this from occurring again in the future. Friday's error was the 'latest in a series of technical issues' that Norsk Tipping has contended within the past year, the company said in a press release. It had been working to improve service to its customers with Sagstuen at the helm. Sagstuen said in a statement she was 'confident that the improvement processes we have started are in capable hands with the current team.' Advertisement Eurojackpot is one of the many games that Norsk Tipping facilitates for Norwegian residents. The state-owned company distributed over 5 million Eurojackpot prize payments last year, with 124 people in Norway becoming millionaires because of them, according to the company.
