Global stocks push higher as Doha disappointment fades

Global equities charged higher Tuesday, boosted by rising oil prices and news of buoyant German investor confidence. Crude oil continued to climb despite lingering disappointment over last weekend's failed Doha oil output talks. In the eurozone, Frankfurt rallied 2.0 percent in mid afternoon trading as a key survey, the German investor confidence index calculated by the ZEW economic institute, posted a robust increase in April.
