LONDON — European stocks climbed on Monday in what's expected to be a quieter day for global markets given the July Fourth holiday in the United States.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 index added 0.9% in early trade, with oil and gas stocks leading the way on a 2.3% gain as all sectors and major bourses entered positive territory.
Global markets are settling in to trading in the second half of the year after the first half — dominated by concerns over inflation, the war in Ukraine and the potential for a global recession — ended last week.
There are signs markets in Asia are struggling for direction. Overnight, Hong Kong stocks fell as Asia-Pacific markets were mixed on Monday ahead of Australia and Malaysia central bank decisions this week.
As U.S. markets are closed for the July Fourth public holiday on Monday, trading volumes are expected to be much thinner. Last Friday, U.S. stocks rose at the start of the new quarter after the S&P 500 closed out its worst first-half performance in decades.
