Global stock markets experienced a rise amid volatile trading on Tuesday, as investors awaited further appointments by President-elect Donald Trump to his administration. Meanwhile, tensions between Russia and the U.S. over Ukraine contributed to a slight upturn in oil prices.

Markets braced for potential tariff implementations and tax cuts under Trump's administration, potentially leading to inflation and less frequent Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
