European Stocks Lower; Economic Growth Worries Persist
European stock markets traded lower Friday, ending a generally positive week on a cautious note amid concerns that growing Covid-19 cases will stunt economic growth. U.K. retail sales only grew 0.3% in December, weaker than expected, as retailers struggled to recover in the crucial holiday period from a partial coronavirus lockdown the previous month, marking a weak end to their worst year on record.
