Closing stock market indices

11 Oct, 2005

Here is how major stock markets outside the United States ended on Monday.
Mining stocks such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton climbed around 2 percent as copper prices held new all-time peaks and gold rose to its highest price in almost 18 years. But a sales warning from Xilinx Inc, which makes programmable microchips, weighed on US shares and knocked European technology stocks off their intraday highs.
The All Gold index closed at 2,194.66 points, up 45.49 or 2.12 percent, while the Industrial index closed at 11,774.81 points, down 55.05 or 0.47 percent.
