European markets started December with a 0.2% decline in the Stoxx 600 index, influenced by losses in key sectors.

European markets started December under pressure, with the Stoxx 600 index recording a decline of 0.2% on Monday. This downward trend was generated by widespread losses in key sectors and major exchanges, according to CNBC reports. The declines come after a volatile period at the end of November, when investors were concerned about market valuations and economic prospects. This situation suggests a continuation of uncertainty in European financial markets, as traders adjust their expectations for the coming year.
