European stocks
declined, as banks dragged the Stoxx Europe 600 Index lower, and NATO
said Russia sent troops and heavy weapons into Ukraine.
Banks slipped as U.S.,
Swiss, and British regulators fined lenders including HSBC Holdings
Plc, Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc and UBS AG to settle a probe into
foreign-exchange manipulation. Barclays Plc slid 2.2 percent after
saying it is not ready to settle the investigation. Enel SpA led
utility-related shares lower after third-quarter profit fell more than
analysts predicted.
The Stoxx 600
retreated 1.1 percent to 335.09 at the close of trading. The measure had
rebounded 9.3 percent from this years low on Oct. 16 through yesterday
as the Bank of Japan unexpectedly boosted its stimulus and companies
from Vodafone Group Plc to Carlsberg A/S reported better-than-estimated
financial results.
