Germany’s DAX stock index took a bruising as European equities fell to their lowest in more than six months, after North Korea’s missile launch over Japan jangled investors’ nerves and the euro rose, MarketWatch reports.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index dropped 1.5% to 366.86, on course for its lowest close since early February, FactSet data showed. The pan-European benchmark was also set for its worst percentage drop since late September 2016. No sector rose on Tuesday, and consumer services and telecom shares lost the most ground.
