Banks and commodity-linked stocks helped European shares rise on Monday, as investors waited for U.S. inflation data and details from a European Central Bank meeting later this week.

Banks, which typically appreciate in a high interest rate environment, rose 1.7%. Miners climbed 2.5% and luxury stocks also rallied as sentiment in the sectors, which derive substantial demand from China, was elevated by authorities easing more curbs in Beijing and Shanghai.
