On Monday, European stocks were on the way to their most impressive profit for eight weeks because a shocking revival in China's factory data as well as signs of progress in China-US trade negotiations spurred investor sentiment on the first trading day of the second quarter.

Additionally, Peugeot SA headed north by 3%, while Fiat Chrysler Automobiles surged by nearly 1.6% on the news that the two companies are actually exploring a partnership with the aim of sharing investments to manufacture vehicles in the European Union.

EU chip shares turned out to be another bright spot after better-than-anticipated outcomes from Apple-supplier Foxconn Industrial.

Stocks in Infineon Technologies, Dialog Semiconductor Plc, STMicroelectronics N.V., and Ams AG and Siltronic AG tacked on by 3%-5%.

China's economic data emerges on the heels of new worries over a decelerating world economy, which resurfaced in February right after the major US bank suddenly gave up its plans for policy tightening in 2019 and also signs from the bond market of an inevitable meltdown.
