Stocks higher ahead of key central bank meetings

European stock markets rose on Monday, with Frankfurt hitting levels above 10,000 points, following a strong start to the week across Asia as traders looked ahead to more central bank action. The Bank of Japan started a two-day meeting Monday, while the Federal Reserve and Bank of England also gather this week to decide over the direction for interest rates and stimulus. Ahead of that US meeting, shares on Wall Street opened marginally lower, taking a pause after a big rally.
