Global stocks experienced a downturn on Tuesday, influenced by lackluster details regarding China's stimulus efforts. As investors shift their focus towards upcoming U.S. inflation data and corporate earnings, early trading in the U.S. showed signs of recovery.

The S&P 500 rebounded from a nearly 1% drop in the previous session, driven by gains in technology stocks. Meanwhile, European shares dipped, influenced by the absence of specifics on China's fiscal stimulus, affecting industries connected to the world's second-largest economy, such as mining and luxury goods.

In Asia, stock indices like Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index saw sharp declines, overturning previous gains made during a Chinese holiday. The market's volatile reaction reflects concerns over Beijing's commitment to economic recovery measures, raising investor anticipation for detailed policy actions to alleviate these uncertainties.
