Investor sentiment was lifted on Monday, boosted by optimism surrounding U.S. tax cuts.
On Friday, Republicans released their final proposal to overhaul the country's tax system, which would look at slashing taxes for businesses, while trimming rates for individuals and modifying tax deductions. The House and Senate GOP are looking to pass the measure this week.
Expectations that the tax bill will be approved boosted U.S. stocks on Friday and buoyed the Dow Jones industrial average more than 100 points Monday. Markets overseas also rose on the back of optimism surrounding U.S. tax changes.
