European shares hold ground as AstraZeneca drags, tech shares rise

European shares were flat on Tuesday, after a 1% jump in the previous session, as investors parsed through a mixed set of economic data while awaiting a widely expected ECB rate cut later in the week. The pan-European STOXX 600 index was holding its ground at 510.40 points at 0715 GMT. AstraZeneca was the biggest drag, sliding 5% after detailed study results showed its experimental lung cancer.
