European stocks sag to start the week

Closing changes for the main bourses:

• German DAX -0.7%
• UK FTSE -0.8%
• French CAC -0.9%
• Italy MIB -1.7%
• Spain IBEX -0.2%

It's the first day of declines after three big gains for European share markets. What's curious is that risk assets like stock are falling while commodity currencies gain. That's a trend that can't continue.
