A rally in commodity producers failed to lift sentiment in European stocks, which closed lower for a third day.

The region’s shares extended their lowest levels since Oct. 21, with retailers Ocado Group Plc and Sports Direct International Plc plunging after reporting financial results that missed projections. Glencore Plc, on the other hand, jumped 7 percent as the Swiss commodities trader pledged to cut debt further, scale back operations and sell more assets.
