Signs of improving U.S. economic growth helped ease markets into holiday mode on Monday, though a credit squeeze in China took the edge off gains. European markets saw some last-minute festive shopping, as London's FTSE (.FTSE) and Frankfurt's Dax (.GDAXI) started 0.4 percent higher, with Paris's CAC 40 (.FCHI) up a more modest 0.1 percent. Sentiment was underpinned by upbeat U.S. GDP data and the resilience of stocks to the Federal Reserve's decision to start scaling back its bond-buying stimulus. "Growth is picking up," International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde said on NBC's 'Meet the Press'.
