U.S. markets closed for Labor day

Oil prices fall overnight

European stocks rose, following a selloff that wiped out two days of

gains.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index advanced 0.5 percent to 354.81 at the

close of trading, after earlier rising as much as 1.2 percent. Shares

extended a weekly loss on Friday as mixed U.S. jobs data stoked

concern about an impending Federal Reserve rate increase and the

strength of the global economy.

The volume of Stoxx 600 shares changing hands today was 38 percent

lower than the daily average, with U.S. markets closed for a holiday.

In China, the governor of the country’s central bank forecast a return to

stability for markets. The world’s second-largest economy is seeking to

bolster confidence after concerns over growth spurred the biggest

monthly drop in global equities since 2012 in August.

Data showing German industrial production increased in July also

added to investor optimism today. Miners posted the biggest gain of

the 19 industry groups on the Stoxx 600.
