ROME: European equities ended sharply lower on Monday as concerns over carmaker Volkswagen and miner Glencore continued to dent investor sentiment.
The pan-European Stoxx Europe 600 index ended around 2.2 percent lower, sinking further after U.S. stocks fell over 1 percent.
The FTSE 100 ended 2.5 percent lower, weighed down by London-listed miners, which are a heavily weighted part of the U.K. index.
Germany’s DAX finished down 2.1 percent, hit hard by the autos. France’s CAC ended down around 2.8 percent.
