The European stock markets ended sharply lower on Monday, showing themselves fearful of the possibility of a massive reconfinement in China but also worried regarding the firm tone used by the American Central Bank, which must soon raise its key rates.

Paris and London fell by 2.01% and 1.88% respectively, weighed down in particular by luxury and raw materials, when Frankfurt lost 1.54% and Milan 1.53%.
