- European shares retreated on Monday as a glum profit outlook from the region’s largest lender HSBC offset gains in trade-sensitive sectors buoyed by positive developments on the U.S.-China trade front.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 0.2% at 0935 GMT with the banking index .SX7P leading the losses. Another disappointment among banks was Spain’s Bankia , down 3%, after the state-owned lender posted a 23% drop in third-quarter net profit as it struggles to increase margins from lending because of ultra-low interest rates.
Defensive plays like utility .SX6P and telecom .SXKP stocks lost between 0.4% and 0.7% as appetite for riskier sectors rose on the day.
