European shares closed higher on Monday, rebounding from six-week lows as a surge in banking stocks offset a decline in Swiss shares following a hefty 39% U.S. tariff on Swiss goods.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index, rose 0.9%, with most major regional markets, barring Swiss stocks, rebounding from Friday's sharp losses, when worries about tariffs and a weak U.S. jobs report hammered sentiment.
The German DAX climbed 1.4%, France's CAC 40 rose 1.1% and Britain's FTSE 100 added 0.7%.
Zurich's SMI index dipped 0.2% as trading resumed following a long weekend. Switzerland was left stunned on Friday after Trump hit it with one of the highest tariffs in his global trade reset, with industry associations warning that tens of thousands of jobs were at risk.
Swiss luxury watchmakers' shares, including Richemont and Swatch, fell 1.3% and 2.3%, respectively.
