Global stocks mostly extended gains early Monday amid expectations that central banks around the world would keep monetary policy loose. Mining shares led gains as Brent crude oil rose 0.3% to $50.49 a barrel and copper futures jumped... The Stoxx Europe 600 inched up 0.3% shortly after markets opened, building on a four-day winning streak, as dovish comments from the Bank of England bolstered expectations for further easing measures.
