European stocks trade mixed after three-day break; HSBC shares rallies while BP fizzles

European stocks traded in a narrow range Tuesday after a three-day break, with the Stoxx Europe 600 little changed in early trade. HSBC Holdings shares jumped 5% after reporting a big profit surge in the first quarter, while BP slipped 5% even as its results topped earnings expectations. U.K. builders including Persimmon rose after reports the U.K. government may resurrect its home-buying subsidy program.
