March 14 (Reuters) - Rate-sensitive real estate and
technology stocks lifted the wider European benchmark on Tuesday
after a three-day selloff in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank's
collapse that sent chills through the banking sector globally.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 0.1% by 0813
GMT after plunging 2.4% a day earlier in its worst sell-off of
the year.
Real estate and technology stocks climbed
1.1% and 0.4%, respectively, as investors bought into the
sectors that tend to benefit from lower interest rates.
European bond yields fell further as investors bet on
reduced policy tightening from the European Central Bank (ECB).
Traders are now pricing in a 25 basis-point hike as the most
likely outcome at the ECB's policy meeting on Thursday, having
priced in a 50 basis-point hike with near certainty last week.
The European banks index fell 0.6% after posting its
biggest percentage loss in more than a year on Monday.
