The Stoxx Europe 600 Index gained 0.6 per cent, extending last week’s rally and hitting its highest level in five weeks.

Europe’s main index is up 22 per cent in 2021, and less than 1 per cent from its record high.Coronavirus infections have spiked across the globe over the weekend, with France reporting a daily record of more than 100,000 new cases.
