| | London Market Report |  | | FTSE 100 | Euronext | Dax perf | CAC 40 |  |  |  |  | | Please click on the images to view our interactive charts | | | London open: Mining stocks drag FTSE lower UK stocks opened in the red on Monday, dragged down by mining shares, as investors weighed European manufacturing data and awaited the release of economic reports in the US.
Eurozone manufacturing activity rose to a 19-month high in November. Markit's purchasing managers' index increased to 52.8 from 52.3 in October, above the 50 level that indicates an expansion.
Markit's PMI on US manufacturing at 1445 GMT is expected to show a drop to 54 in November from 54.1 the previous month.
US existing home sales figures are then due at 1500 GMT, with analysts predicting a 2.7% drop to 5.40m in October compared to a month ago.
On the company front, miners were in the red, including Glencore, Anglo American and BHP Billiton, as metal prices declined.
Mitie Group slumped after half-year operating profits were hit by the deterioration of its performance in its healthcare arm and as it exited unprofitable contracts in that segment.
Going the other way, BAE Systems, Rolls Royce and Babcock International benefitted from news that the UK was set to announce an increase in defence spending.
Astrazeneca dipped after selling the US rights to Crohn's disease medicine Entocort to Perrigo Company for $380m.
Segro fell as the real estate investment trust bought a portfolio of three, fully-let logistics buildings in the Netherlands for €92.7m from Dutch private developer Dok Vast. |

| | Europe Market Report |  | | FTSE 100 | Euronext | Dax perf | CAC 40 |  | | | | | | Europe open: Resources and energy stocks lead equity markets lower European stocks fell in early trade, with natural resources and energy under the cosh as metals and oil prices declined.
At 0845 GMT, the benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 index was down 0.7%, Germany's DAX was 0.5% lower and France's CAC 40 was off 0.8%.
"This week commences on a soft note for European indices following a good month that saw the best weekly performance from global stocks in just over a month," said Simon Smith, chief economist at FXPro.
"Increased security tensions across Europe and a continued downward spiral of commodity prices means...sentiment is likely to be tested further with a very quiet week ahead on both the economic and corporate data front, culminating in the-two day Thanksgiving celebrations in the US."
The Stoxx 600 basic resources index was down 2.5% as metals prices slumped on concerns about a slowdown in demand from China, while the Stoxx 600 oil and gas index was down 1.5% as oil prices fell.
West Texas Intermediate was 2.9% lower at $40.69, while Brent crude was 1.8% weaker at $43.88 amid a stronger US dollar and concerns about a supply surplus.
Credit Suisse slid after the bank said it has raised 1.32bn Swiss francs from the first phase of a CHF6bn capital increase.
AstraZeneca nudged lower after announcing that it has sold the US rights to Crohn's disease medicine Entocort to Perrigo Company for $380m (£250.8m).
Aside from corporate and macroeconomic news flow, investors were also keeping an eye on developments in Europe after Belgian police made 16 arrests in late-night raids related to the Paris terrorist attacks, but failed to find a prime suspect.
Brussels was on lockdown for the third day in a row on Monday due to a "serious and imminent" threat of attack.
Meanwhile, in the UK, the government said it will make the case to parliament to join air strikes against the Islamic State in Syria, as prime minister David Cameron prepared to announce a £12 billion increase to the defence budget. |

| | US Market Report | | US close: S&P closes out best week in 2015 A benchmark for US shares finished the week with its largest gains in a year, bolstered by so-called consumer discretionary and healthcare stocks, as investors continued to react positively to indications from earlier in the week that the pace of interest rate hikes in 2016 will be quite gradual.
That message appeared to be reinforced to a small degree on Thursday night and Friday in fresh remarks from three US rate-setters.
The Dow Jones Industrials Average ended the Friday session up by 91.06 points to end at 17,823.81, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq moved higher by 7.93 and 31.28 points each, to end the week at 2,089.17 and 5,104.92, respectively.
For the week as a whole, the S&P 500 was left sporting gains of 3.3%, alongside falling levels of volatility.
Boom times ahead, says Fed´s Bullard
Speaking on Friday, St.Louis Fed President James Bullard said: "I think we are going to return to an era where there is a bit more uncertainty about what the (Fed's policy-setting) committee is going to do meeting to meeting."
In the 2004-2006 interest rate cycle the Fed jacked up the Fed funds rate at 17 consecutive meetings.
Monetary policy should be more data-dependent and the central bank must be ready to be flexible, Bullard reportedly added.
The economy is headed into a 'boom' period, the rate-settered also said.
Overnight on Thursday, Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said that Fed policymakers had done everything "we can to avoid surprising the markets and governments when we move."
Nevertheless, a final decision had not yet been taken, Fischer said.
A decision to raise rates in December will be data-dependent, New York Fed president William Dudley added.
Retailers, healthcare pace gains
In company news, Gap jumped 7.53% despite cutting its profit guidance for the year late on Thursday, as quarterly sales fell more than expected.
From a sector standpoint the best performance was seen in the following industrial groups: Footwear (5.03%), Apparel retailers (3.88%), Home improvement retailers (2.77%) and Healthcare providers (2.37%).
Allergan jumped 3.5% on reports Pfizer was in advanced talks to buyout the company, possibly for as much as $380 per share.
Software maker Intuit rose 5.93% after posting better-than-expected quarterly results on Thursday, while Foot Locker advanced 5.67% after better-than-expected sales numbers and Abercrombie & Fitch soared 25.04% after it said its quarterly profit rose because the company offered less discounts during the period.
Railroad and defence stocks continued to see some buying momentum.
