The benchmark for American equities is near a 6-month high and less than 1% from its record after a torrid run so far in 2019. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index traded in a tight range Monday, as losses in mining shares offset increases in media and insurance. The euro strengthened for a second day.

With Chinese trade and lending data showing signs of improvement for the world's second-biggest economy, investors are turning to the U.S. earnings season to confirm the resilience of corporate America in the face of numerous challenges to growth.
