European stock indexes rose in early trading on Monday, boosted by investors scaling back their expectations for US Federal Reserve rate hikes and optimism about China’s borders reopening.The upbeat market momentum continued on Monday, with Asian stocks up after China reopened its borders, bolstering the outlook for the global economy.

PineBridge said in November it had sharply raised its China equity exposure on expectations of China’s Covid-19 rules easing.
