Why did European stocks advance, and what role did oil prices play?

European stocks advanced because a pullback in oil prices offered relief from inflation concerns and bond-market pressures that had weighed on the region in recent sessions; specifically, Brent crude fell to around $91 a barrel from Friday’s high of $95 after fresh US pressure on Iran stopped short of material new measures.

What strategic move is Siemens Energy making, and how did the market respond?

Siemens Energy AG announced it is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to prepare for the sale of a majority stake in its steam turbine business, prompting its stock to rise 1.7%.
