European Stocks Fall as Post-Brexit Recovery Stalls
European shares fell on Thursday, stalling attempts to recover from a heavy sell-off caused by Britain’s vote to leave the European Union last week, as shares in major banks lost ground.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index and the similar FTSEurofirst 300 index both fell by 0.6 percent.
Britain’s benchmark FTSE 100 retreated by 0.3 percent while Germany’s DAX fell 0.5 percent.
