European Stocks Fall Most Since August as Global Risk Assets Hit

European stocks fell the most since August, sliding for a fourth day, as investors avoided riskier assets ahead of pivotal earnings from Nvidia Corp. and the resumption of US data releases.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index was down 1.7% at the close, the lowest since late September. Miners sank as aluminum and copper prices declined, while bank and auto stocks were also among the worst laggards.
