European Stocks Slide Amid Global Market Sell-off: U.S. Jobs Data Intensifies Rate Cut Concerns | Headlines
European stocks took a hit in a broad market sell-off Monday, sparked by U.S. jobs data that suggested the Federal Reserve might tread carefully in lowering interest rates this year.
The pan-European STOXX 600 dropped 0.9% by mid-morning, extending last week’s tumble when surprising U.S. job growth figures and a lower unemployment rate put markets on alert.
Market analysts noted a cautious investor atmosphere in Europe, with technology and other sectors following Wall Street declines, as bond yields also surged, reflecting persistent inflation worries and central bank strategies.
