[BENGALURU] European shares snapped a four session winning run on Thursday, as bank stocks drew close attention after sources said Italy's UniCredit was interested in buying Germany's Commerzbank.

Italian stocks fell 0.2 per cent on the day, with sentiment clouded by a report the country's government will cut its 2019 economic growth forecast.
