European shares opened on Monday at their highest levels in more than two months, buoyed by signs that Iran and the United States were negotiating an end to their conflict, easing concerns about inflation and a global economic slowdown.
The pan-European STOXX 600 was up 0.61% at 628.93 points, as of 0712 GMT, trading just shy of a record high touched in late February, just before the Middle East war erupted.
