LONDON: The eurozone's main stock markets found higher ground on Monday in subdued deals, with many investors away for the Easter holiday break.

The remarks were picked up as another positive sign that the trade war between the world's top two economies, which helped hammer global markets last year, could be nearing an end. Stock markets on both sides of the Atlantic had pushed higher on Friday after major US banks JP Morgan and Wells Fargo reported earnings ahead of analysts' expectations.

Asia traded mixed on Monday, though investors remain upbeat thanks to a healthy start to the US earnings season and hopes for China-US trade talks.Dealers noted that, for once, Brexit was not hogging the headlines this week due to Britain's parliament being shut for the Easter holiday until Apr 23.
