Investors looked ahead to monetary policy decisions of major central banks, including the Federal Reserve, Bank of England and the European Central Bank.
The dollar held steady, and gold struggled for direction while oil prices held near nine-month highs.
The U.S. stock markets were closed on Monday in observance of Labour Day.
European stocks closed lower on Monday, giving up early gains on China stimulus optimism and hopes of Fed rate pause. The pan European STOXX 600 ended flat with a negative bias.
