(RTTNews) - European stocks drifted lower on Tuesday, tracking a rise in U.S. Treasury yields after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump is entitled to immunity from federal prosecution for official actions he took while in office.

The German DAX fell 0.8 percent, France's CAC 40 shed half a percent and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 was down 0.2 percent.

Ryanair Holdings fell about 1 percent in Dublin despite the budget airline reporting record passenger numbers for June.
