Monday's moves came after international regulators agreed to require the world's largest banks to hold an extra layer of financial padding. The agreement, hammered out over the weekend in the Swiss city of Basel, will force global banks that are considered too-big to fail to maintain capital cushions that are significantly thicker than other institutions. Still, investors and analysts found solace that the capital requirements don't appear to be as burdensome as originally feared. shares rose 33 cents, or 3.1%, to 10.85. The largest U.S. bank by assets has been pressured most by investors unsure of how it would meet a much higher capital requirement.

J.P. Morgan Chase gained 39 cents, or 1%, to 39.88. Investors are also keenly focused on Greece and the parliamentary vote on additional austerity measures expected later this week. Approval of the measures is a condition for the release of more aid from the bailout package agreed on with international lenders last year.

The European Commission confirmed Monday that it is directly involved in talks between national authorities and banks on getting private-sector involvement for a new bailout for Greece.

Investors held back from European stocks, wary of making bold moves ahead of key votes in Greece later this week. The Stoxx Europe 600 index closed fractionally higher at 264.01. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 added 0.4% to 5722.34, and France's Paris's CAC-40 gained 0.3% to 3796.55, but Germany's DAX shed 0.2% at 7107.90.

Greek lawmakers are to vote Wednesday on a five-year fiscal plan and will then be asked to vote again Thursday on implementation of a law spelling out the austerity measures in more detail. The Greek parliament must pass these austerity measures before the heavily indebted country can receive its next tranche of financial support from the European Union and International Monetary Fund.
