ROME: European markets finished mixed on Monday as investors digested the latest economic figures out of China, amid a downturn in oil prices and mining stocks.
The pan-European STOXX 600 closed up 0.3 percent provisionally, with most sectors in positive territory, but some energy and basic resources stocks posting sharp declines. It pared some gains during the session, having earlier hit 366.08 points, its highest level in more than one month.
London’s FTSE 100 ended 0.4 percent lower, while the German DAX jumped ahead, up 0.6 percent. The French CAC 40 wobbled during trade, closing roughly flat.
