Citigroup Sales Hit European Stock Markets With ‘Flash Crash’

Several European stock markets suffered a “flash crash” on Monday morning following sell orders by Citigroup Inc., according to people familiar with the matter.

Trading was halted momentarily in several markets after major stock indexes plunged for a few minutes just before 10 a.m. Central European time. Stocks in the Nordic region were hit the hardest, though other European stocks also tumbled briefly on a day when share prices around the globe declined.
