The U.S. stocks edged higher on Monday, helped by rise in energy shares which also overshadowed the concerns that victory of anti-bailout party Syriza in Greece could bring a fresh crisis to the Euro zone.

Riding high on the European Central Bank's recently announced bond-buying program, the Stoxx Europe 600 index rose for the eighth straight session on Monday, hitting a fresh seven-year high. In Asia, most of the equity markets managed to end the session higher despite renewed concerns over Greece's future in Euro zone.
