BANGKOK—World shares were mostly higher Monday after a strong close on Wall Street last week, though the latest manufacturing surveys showed weakening factory activity in Asia’s two biggest economies: China and Japan.

Germany’s DAX gained 0.3 percent to 13,522,83 while the CAC 40 in Paris added 0.4 percent to 6,473.00. Britain’s FTSE 100 climbed 0.4 percent to 7,455.55.
