ReutersLONDON/TOKYO (Reuters) -European shares were at their highest since January 2022 and bond yields dipped on Monday, at the start of a packed week of big corporate earnings, European inflation data, Federal Reserve and Bank of England meetings and U.S. jobs numbers. U.S. share futures were also steady, suggesting no immediate threat to the S&P 500's position at all-time highs, boosted by data this year showing economic growth is holding up while inflation continues to fall, potentially allowing the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates. Asian shares rose as new steps by Beijing to stabilise the local market outweighed the drag on sentiment from the liquidation of property giant China Evergrande.
