U.S. equities climbed to records on optimism over China trade relations and a fresh wave of merger and acquisition activity. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq climbed to all time highs after China said it will tighten intellectual property rules, a move aimed at boosting the chances of a trade deal between the two largest economies. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index advanced, with 19 industry sectors in the green. Equities climbed across Asia, led by those in Hong Kong, where local elections brought a landslide victory to pro-democracy candidates.
