Closing stock market indices

Major stock markets outside the United States ended on Friday.
EUROPE STOCK EXCHANGE: European stocks fell 1.7 percent, losing ground for the third time in four sessions as a dip in metal prices prompted investors to book recent lofty gains on mining shares.
Oil prices also weighed on sentiment as they resumed their climb, fuelling worries over inflation and the outlook for company results.
