Baku- APA-Economics. Wall Street ended unchanged on Tuesday, failing to bounce back from its worst day in two months, as a mixed housing report and successful Treasury auction failed to jolt the bulls from their recent slumber.

European markets ended mixed as London’s FTSE 100 sank 0.1% to 4230.02, France’s CAC 40 dropped 0.21% to 3116.82 and Germany’s DAX jumped 0.29% to 4707.15.
