* Prosus tops STOXX 600 on Tencent stake sale plan

* Shanghai declares victory over COVID-19

"What we are seeing right now could actually be another dead cat bounce or short-covering as investors are actually preparing for earnings season."

Mining stocks jumped 1.8% to lead gains among sectors, while industrial and health care stocks were the biggest boosts to the pan-region index.
