European Stocks Finish Lower Following Data

European stocks ended Thursday lower, after hopes for the new vaccine against the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) provided a much needed support for the market.

In addition, data showed earlier today a decline in industrial production across the Eurozone during the month of September.

The pan-European STOXX Europe 600 closed lower by 0.8%.

The UK’s FTSE100 fell by 0.68%, while the French index CAC40 and Germany’s DAX declined by 1.52% and 1.24%.
