PARIS, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Europe stock index futures pointed to gains on Tuesday, with shares poised to rebound after their longest losing run in more than 18 months, lifted by hopes of further action by the Federal Reserve to support the recovery. By 0608 GMT, futures for the STOXX Europe 50, for Germany's DAX and for France's CAC were up 0.1-0.2 percent.
U.S. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Monday the Fed's asset purchases lowered borrowing costs and helped the economy, and more buying could further ease financial conditions. (Reporting by Blaise Robinson)
