Here is how major stock markets outside the United States ended on Monday.
"Sentiment is really bad right now; the recent stock market performance is the worst I've seen in the last couple of years," said Philipp Musil, fund manager at Constantia Privatbank. "The valuations are quite good. For me it's a screaming buy, but don't forget it's June, and we have this football championship; nobody cares about equities right now." The pan-European FTSEurofirst index of 300 leading shares closed down 0.8 percent at 1,265.8 points, after rallying 1.7 percent on Friday.
The index is about 10 percent below its near five-year high of 1,407.5 points hit a month ago.
The All Gold index closed at 2,554.03 points, down 62.01 or 2.37 percent, while the Industrial index closed at 12,960.16 points, down 80.92 or 0.62 percent.
