Senate Tax Bill Boosts Global Shares

Stocks in Europe and U.S. futures rose Monday as investors digested the implications of the U.S. Senate passing its version of tax reform over the weekend.

The Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0.7% in early trade amid broad-based gains across sectors. U.S. futures pointed to a 0.9% opening gain for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which ended slightly lower on Friday. Asian stock markets were mixed.

Investors also moved out of havens such as Treasurys and gold and pushed the dollar higher.
