Closing stock market indices

Here is how major stock markets outside the United States ended on Monday.
EUROPE STOCKS EXCHANGE: European shares ended at levels last seen more than three years ago as firm oil prices powered heavily weighted energy stocks, while exporters such as carmakers gained as the euro dipped against the dollar.
Shares of British broadcaster ITV surged 3 percent on renewed take-over talk, helping boost sentiment in a relatively subdued session as US markets were shut for Independence Day.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of European blue chips gained 0.3 percent to 1,153.3 points, its highest close since June 3, 2002. That pushed its gain to 10.7 percent since the start of the year.

SYDNEY STOCKS EXCHANGE: The Australian stock market climbed to a near two-week closing high, as energy stocks like Woodside Petroleum and Santos benefited from rebounding oil prices. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index added 9.3 points, or 0.22 percent, to close at 4,281.9.
JOHANNESBURG STOCKS EXCHANGE: Diversified miners BHP Billiton and Anglo American helped lift South African stocks higher driven by a weaker rand, which prompted a switch from retail and industrial shares.
