  "account": "European shares climbed on Tuesday (Oct 6), driven by gains across sectors as euro zone bond yields softened after a recent rally fueled by fiscal and inflation concerns. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index closed 0.5% higher, easing some earlier-day gains, and marking a third straight day of increases. The majority of sectors finished in the green, with travel and leisure stocks leading the surge, up 1.4%. Oil prices took a 2% hit on Tuesday as heightened Middle Eastern crude exports helped ease supply worries. Danish biotech company Genmab surged 4.4% to a three-year high, following a late-stage study showing its combination treatment for newly diagnosed lymphoma patients significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death. Healthcare stocks as a whole rose 0.6%, albeit restrained by a 5.5% drop in Zealand Pharma.",
