Nov 16 (Reuters) - European shares rose on Monday, hovering
near their nine-month highs, as strong China data and hopes of a
COVID-19 vaccine renewed bets for a quicker economic recovery.
China's factory output rose faster than expected in October
and retail sales surged as the recovery in the world's
second-largest economy from its COVID-19 slump gathered
momentum. The pan-European STOXX 600 .STOXX rose 0.7% by 0805 GMT,
with banks .SX7P and travel stocks .SXTP gaining the most.
Vodafone Group VOD.L , the world's second-largest mobile
operator, gained 2.6% after it said it was increasingly
confident about its full-year performance following a
"resilient" first-half, despite underlying momentum being
obscured by the impact of COVID-19.
