[BENGALURU] European stocks rose for the fourth session in a row on Monday as a flurry of dealmaking, including merger talks between Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank , spurred gains in the financial services sector.
"If this works out, people are going to be looking at ... if this could be an example of what needs to be done to create further stability and less reliance on the central bank," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda.Also caught in the merger wave was German insurer Allianz , which Bloomberg reported was exploring combining its asset management business with DWS, mostly owned by Deutsche Bank. DWS shares jumped 9 per cent to their highest since May.
