(RTTNews) - European stocks started off on a firm note on Monday, but after several key indices rose to multi-month and multi-year highs, pared gains and ended mixed as investors turned cautious and looked ahead to more earnings and economic data from the U.S. for more clarity on the state of the world's largest economy.

Dovish comments from Bank of Japan's Governor and the People's Bank of China, and optimism about Chinese economy lifted sentiment early on in the session.

Czech Republic, Iceland, Netherlands and Turkiye closed weak, while Austria, Finland Sweden ended flat.

In the UK market, IAG, RS Group, Weir Group, Ashtead Group and Ocado Group gained 2 to 3%.

Smurfit Kappa Group, Airtel Africa, Rio Tinto, Flutter Entertainment, Tesco, Informa, Mondi, IHG, Anglo American Plc, Taylor Wimpey, Reckitt Benckiser, BT Group, Auto Trader Group and Smith DS gained 1 to 2%.

ABRDN, Barclays, Prudential, M&G, Beazley, Melrose Industries, Fresnillo, Natwest Group and HSBC Holdings ended lower by 1 to 2.3%.

In the German market, MTU Aero Engines rallied 2.5%. Daimler, HeidelbergCement, Continental, Covestro and Henkel gained 1 to 1.6%.

In Paris, Publicis Groupe, Safran and WorldLine climbed 2 to 2.5%. Airbus, Bouygues, Pernod Ricard, Danone, Orange, ArcelorMittal and Carrefour gained 1 to 1.5%.

Renault ended nearly 4% down. The company, which reported a 9% surge in sales in the first quarter, announced that it is reviewing its pricing policies of electric cars worldwide after Tesla cut prices to boost demand.
