STORYLINE:
Central banks around Europe continued to push cash at markets in an effort to keep the financial sector flush with ready money.
The federal financial regulator again suspended trading on Moscow's stock exchanges on Tuesday, a day after both suffered their biggest-ever one-day losses.
The order postponed the opening of trading until at least 1 pm (0900 GMT), 2.5 hours after the usual opening.
However Russia's stock markets showed gains in early trading following the resumption.
At Germany's key stock exchange in Frankfurt there was some hope that the markets would stabilise after yesterday's falls in the global markets.
Chancellor Angela Merkel is to speak to the German parliament about the financial market crisis on Tuesday.
Merkel has cancelled a previously planned trip to Belgium in order to address the lower house.
Merkel's government on Sunday pledged to guarantee all private bank accounts in Germany.
It also put together a new rescue plan for distressed lender Hypo Real Estate AG, the first German blue-chip company to require a bailout.
Merkel said on Monday that Europeans must be "coherent" in tackling the financial crisis.
While nations struggled individually, the euro gained against dollar on Tuesday, climbing to 1.3577 US dollars as European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet called for calm.
European Union leaders also tried to reassure markets, telling participants they would take "all necessary measures" to keep the financial system stable.
But the pledge of coordinated steps by EU governments has largely failed to reassure markets so far.
