Markets mixed, UK set to ease COVID-19 restrictions

Markets were mixed on Monday.

The S&P 500 rose 0.2 percent to a record high but the STOXX Europe 600 fell 0.6 percent while Asian stocks were little-changed.

Meanwhile, the UK is set to ease COVID-19 restrictions on 19 July.

Health secretary Sajid Javid told MPs that ministers "see no reason to go beyond" that "target date".

He said that while cases were rising, the number of deaths "remains mercifully low".
