The Stoxx Europe 600 index climbed for a third day, with retailers and miners leading the advance and all major regional benchmarks in the green. Futures on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 rose, suggesting US stocks may add to last week’s gains. Treasury yields ticked lower. Crude oil turned higher along with industrial metals.
