Miners such as Anglo American AAL.L, BHP Group BLPB.L and Glencore GLEN.L climbed nearly 4% each, giving the biggest boost to the STOXX 600 as prices of copper and other metals rose. IHS Markit's final reading of euro zone's factory activity rose to 63.1 in May, above an initial 62.8 "flash" estimate and the highest since the survey began in June 1997. While investors worry that higher inflation could force the European Central Bank to dial back its stimulus measures, policymakers have said in recent weeks that the rise in prices is transitory and have reaffirmed continued support.
