two-month high, after the Bank of Japan refrained from boosting its
record monetary stimulus.
Anglo
American Plc tumbled 11 percent. Antofagasta Plc slid 4.5 percent,
paring losses of as much as 11 percent, after abandoning its dividend
and saying annual profit slumped 99 percent. A gauge of energy shares
tracked crude lower, with Tullow Oil Plc and Seadrill Ltd. down more
than 9.5 percent.
The
Stoxx Europe 600 Index dropped 1.1 percent at the close of trading. The
benchmark yesterday capped its biggest two-day rally in three weeks as
investors reassessed the European Central Bank’s stimulus package. Asian
shares fell today after the BOJ kept its negative policy rate and
asset-purchase plans unchanged, while Federal Reserve and Bank of
England decisions are also due this week.
