LONDON: European shares<\/a> extended their recovery rally on Monday thanks to bank stocks<\/a> as dealmaking took centre stage again after a week of political tension in Italy and Spain. <\/p>\n

Investors' concerns over rising trade frictions were trumped by very strong US jobs data on Friday. Europe's STOXX 600 took the lead of Asian markets<\/a> climbing on the data, up 0.6 per cent while Germany's DAX rose 0.8 per cent. <\/p>\n

News about mergers and acquisitions (M&A), particularly in the financial sector, drove the biggest moves. Dealmaking has been a key trend in equity markets globally this year, with the UK among the most active for deals. <\/p>\n

The banks sector jumped 1.2 per cent, the strongest boost to overall gains, as investors priced in potential dealmaking activity and stronger economic data. <\/p>\n

Unicredit shares rose 3.5 per cent and Societe Generale gained 2.6 per cent after the Financial Times<\/a> reported the two were exploring a merger which many investors hope could pave the way to further consolidation in the sector. <\/p>\n

British lender CYBG gained 3.2 per cent after it upped its offer for challenger bank Virgin Money by 7 per cent. <\/p>\n

Outside of financials, Air France topped the STOXX with a 4.8 per cent gain after AccorHotels said it was considering to buy a stake in the French airline. <\/p>\n

Accor fell 2.5 per cent on the news. <\/p>\n

Italian and Spanish equities were the top gainers, having suffered a week of heightened uncertainty as Italian parties negotiated a government and Spain's Prime Minister was ousted. <\/p>\n
