Retail sales increased in March by the most since September 2012, Commerce Department figures showed. U.S. retail sales jumped a greater-than-forecast 1.1% in March, the biggest gain since September 2012, following a 0.7% advance in February that was more than twice as large as previously reported.

PSA Peugeot Citroen slid 6.3% after saying it will cut its model lineup by almost half. Euro-area data showed industrial production climbed 0.2% in February after remaining unchanged the previous month. Economists had forecast a 0.2% rise.

Camouflaged gunmen fired on Kiev government troops in an anti-terror operation, killing one serviceman and wounding five, the Ukrainian government said. Ukraine's central bank increased its benchmark interest rate for the first time in eight months on Monday in a bid to defend its currency which has lost almost two-fifths of its value since the start of the year due to the conflict with Russia.
