The STOXX index of Europe’s 600 largest shares rose 0.5 per cent to its highest since February after AstraZeneca become the latest major drugmaker to say its vaccine for the virus could be around 90 per cent effective.
In commodities, oil prices rose more than 1 per cent, extending last week’s gains as traders eyed a recovery in demand due to successful coronavirus vaccine trials.
