(Reuters) -The outlook for European corporate health has improved, the latest earnings forecasts showed on Tuesday, after the European Union struck a framework trade deal with the U.S. on Sunday after weeks of negotiations.

European companies are expected to report growth of 1.8% in second-quarter earnings, on average, according to LSEG I/B/E/S data. This is a large improvement from the 0.3% fall analysts had expected a week ago.
