Miners and autos surge 4% as European stocks rally; US and China agree to temporary trade truce

The pan-European Stoxx 600 was up more than 1.6 percent during mid-morning deals, with almost all sectors in positive territory. Germany's DAX index led the gains among the major bourses, surging around 2.5 percent Monday morning.
