European stocks rose, as oil shares rebounded from a six-day loss and optimism grew over stimulus prospects before this week’s European Central Bank meeting.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index added 0.5 percent to 347.37 at the close of trading and climbed as much as 1 percent. The gauge has rallied 12 percent from an October low as President Mario Draghi said the ECB may broaden its asset-buying program to include government bonds, while central banks in Japan and China boosted stimulus measures.
