The pan-European STOXX 600 index was up 1.11% to 462.79 points at 7:52 am (Brasília time). The Index fell 1.4% last week after higher-than-expected US inflation data fueled bets the Federal Reserve will continue to raise borrowing costs.

Miners, among the biggest losers last week, jumped 0.8%. Defensive sectors such as healthcare and telecommunications posted the smallest gains.

In LONDON, the Financial Times index advanced 0.81%, to 7,942.85 points.
