European Stocks are Expected to Rise

Shares took a hit on Monday but Tuesday is looking better.  The big winners of the day seem to be the banks and the miners.  HSBC is back on the way up after they were upgraded by Goldman Sachs.

As energy futures and metal futures start to show firm numbers the mining sector showed signs of life.

Bankers and Miner stocks have a huge impact on the rest of the stock market.  This is why it is so key to keep an eye on both sectors.
