BANGKOK—Shares rose in Europe after a mixed session in Asia on Monday, where Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index sank 5 percent after the neighboring city of Shenzhen was ordered into a shutdown to combat China’s worst COVID-19 outbreak in two years.

Benchmarks rose in Frankfurt, Paris, and Tokyo and U.S. futures were higher. Oil prices retreated against the backdrop of uncertainty from the war in Ukraine.
