European stocks largely paused Monday after the prior week’s sizable rally, limited by a downbeat reading on German industrial output and tumbles for PostNL and Paddy Power Betfair, MarketWatch reports.
The Stoxx Europe 600 edged down by 0.2% to 381.77. That’s after the benchmark on Friday gained 1% for its biggest percentage rise in three weeks, with analysts pinning the jump on an encouraging US jobs report. The gauge tacked on 1.1% last week.
