European stocks rose on Monday, buoyed by optimism in global markets as investors welcomed initial signs that the historic U.S. government shutdown may soon end. However, signs of market easing emerged after the U.S. Senate introduced a bill. The 'Stoxx 600 Europe' index gained 1.1% to 571 points, recovering from its lowest close in over three weeks, which was recorded on Friday. Previously, the indicator posted its largest weekly loss since late August amid investor caution over fears of a technology bubble and the lack of official U.S. data due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, now in its 40th day.
