FXStreet (Mumbai) - The news that Japan fell into a recession in the third quarter, dragged the major European equity indices, including the Ftse lower on Monday morning.

Among the index stocks, Aglo American is the biggest gainer , up 1.9%, followed by ARM holdings, up 1.5%. Meanwhile, the biggest loser was Weir Group, down 4.33%. The supermarket stocks like Sainsbury and Tesco also traded weaker by 1.5% each. Tullow Oil fell 1.07% as the Crude prices continue to remain weak.
