European Stocks Lower; U.K. Tax U-Turn, Credit Suisse Woes in Focus
European stock markets traded sharply lower Monday, weighed by renewed regional energy concerns, political turmoil in the U.K., and worries about the health of Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse. By 03:25 ET (07:25 GMT), the DAX in Germany traded 1% lower, the CAC 40 in France fell 1%, and U.K.’s FTSE 100 dropped 0.6%. Russian energy giant Gazprom (MCX:GAZP) suspended its gas supplies to Italy over the weekend, in what appears to be the latest iteration of the conflict between Moscow and western Europe over the supply of natural gas since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February.
