TOKYO (AP) -- World stock markets rose Tuesday as tensions over the downing of a passenger jet in Ukraine eased after pro-Moscow separatists released a train packed with bodies and handed over the aircraft's black boxes.

In Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 gained 0.5 percent to 6,764.55 and Germany's DAX added 0.8 percent to 9,689.15. France's CAC-40 gained 0.6 percent to 4,328.51. U.S. markets looked set for an upbeat start, with Dow futures up 0.2 percent and S&P 500 futures up 0.1 percent.

Shares fell Monday as investors awaited corporate earnings while monitoring the mounting political turmoil in Gaza and Ukraine.

Some investors fear Western governments, already alarmed by Russia's support for rebels in Ukraine's east, might toughen economic sanctions over the shooting down of the Malaysia Airlines last week with 298 people aboard.
