Here is how major stock markets outside the United States ended on Tuesday.
Mining and energy shares led the market rout, with economically sensitive sectors such as construction and building materials also hit amid renewed concern about slower economic growth in the United States and China. The FTSEurofirst 300 index of leading European shares closed 2.86 percent lower at 1,506.05 points, its lowest level since January 11 and erasing nearly two thirds of its gains since the start of the year.
