European markets fall on Portugal pressure
European share markets tumbled on Monday, led by resource and financial stocks as enduring Greece debt swap agreement and surging Portuguese bond yields boosted investor pessimism. Stoxx 600 index lost 1.1% to 252.52, while French CAC 40 index dropped 1.6% at 3,265.64. German DAX 30 and
UK FTSE 100 index fell 1% each and finished at 6,444.45 and 5,671.09 respectively.
