Both U.S. and European equities rallied on Monday as positive U.S. manufacturing data were published and the result of Spanish bank’s stress-test bolstered confidence in Spain’s banking system. Index of U.S. factory activity rose to a surprising reading of 51.5 in September and thus showed expansion in the sector for the first time since May. European markets were pulled up mainly by financial shares as a result of the report (released on Friday after market hours) saying that Spanish banks will need 59.3 billion euros (($77 billion) in extra capital and showing that troubles in the sector were no worse than feared.
