March 1 (Reuters) - European stocks bounced on Monday after
sharp losses last week as a selloff in bond markets eased, while
optimism over COVID-19 vaccination programme and U.S. stimulus
package further aided sentiment.
The pan-regional STOXX 600 index .STOXX rose 1.6% by 0811
GMT following strong gains in Asian stocks despite
weaker-than-expected manufacturing activity data out of China.
The European equities benchmark fell to a near one-month low
on Friday as investors grew fearful that rising inflation due to
another large U.S. stimulus package and the re-opening of the
global economy could drive major central banks to tighten
monetary policy.
The German DAX .GDAXI rose 1.3%, while France's CAC 40
.FCHI and UK's FTSE 100 .FTSE gained 1.5% each.
Miners .SXPP , up 2.2%, were the top sectoral gainers,
while travel & leisure .SXTP and retail .SXRP stocks jumped
over 2%.
British Airways-owner IAG ICAG.L was the top gainer on
STOXX 600, jumping 5.4% after Peel Hunt upgraded the stock to
"buy" on expectations of a rebound in travel demand during
summer.
