The Stoxx Europe 600 jumped 3.4% late morning, extending Friday's momentum, while the British pound surged 2.1% against the dollar to $1.4653, on track for its highest settlement since May.

"We're in this sort of frenzied period where Brexit is front and center, " said Bob Doll, senior portfolio manager at Nuveen Asset Management.
A survey published on Sunday showed that 45% of respondents backed the U.K. staying in the trade bloc, compared with 42% in favor of leaving. The poll-of-polls, averaging the last six polls in the U.K. vote, returned to 50/50, suggesting growing momentum for the "remain camp" in the June 23 referendum.
