European stocks were mostly higher on Monday, with the STOXX 600 up 0.2% after most major regional indexes fell last week, though Germany's DAX was the only benchmark to reach a record high. Technology and healthcare shares led the latest gains, with SpaceX supplier STMicroelectronics up 3%, ASML up 2.35%, ASM International up 2.7% and Dutch drugmaker Argenx rising about 7.7% after positive clinical trial results. The DAX added 0.02% and the FTSE 100 rose 0.3%, while France's CAC 40 slipped 0.1%. Earlier support from firmer gold prices, a weaker dollar and softer U.S. data also buoyed miners and broader risk sentiment.
