Rio Tinto led UK stocks higher on Tuesday after an upbeat production update, while shares of Burberry fell sharply on news its CEO will leave to join Apple Inc. Germany's DAX 30 index closed at an all-time high on Tuesday. London #BHP up 1.43%. #Rio up 4.25%. New York BHP up 0.35%. Rio up 2.54% LME Base metals traded mixed
