The euro firmed against its major opponents in the early European session on Monday, as Spain's ruling socialist party retained power in snap elections on Sunday, though it lacks a majority to form a government.

The socialist party headed by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez obtained 123 seats in 350-seat Parliament. Sanchez still needs support of other parties to form a government, having fallen short of the 176 seats necessary to control Parliament.

The PSOE could rely on the support of Podemos, its previous coalition partner, as well as some small regional parties to form a majority.

The conservative People's party got 66 seats, the centre-right Citizens party won 57 seats, the anti-austerity Unidas Podemos and its allies secured 42 seats and Vox captured 24 seats.

Survey data from the European Commission showed that Eurozone economic sentiment weakened for a tenth straight month in April and at a faster-than-expected pace, amid sharp deterioration in the morale in industry.

The economic sentiment index decreased to 104 from 105.6 in March. Economists had expected a score of 105.

Data from the European Central Bank showed that Eurozone M3 money supply annual growth improved for a second straight month to its highest level in over a year.

M3, a measure of broad money supply, grew 4.5 percent year-on-year in March after a 4.3 percent increase in February.
