BRUSSELS, Sept 8 — European stocks were on course for their biggest decline in three weeks today, a day ahead of a European Central Bank meeting that will see policymakers debate a cut in its stimulus.
Economy-sensitive financial services, auto, oil & gas, and banking stocks were the biggest decliners, down between 1.6 per cent and 1.8 per cent, while travel stocks fell the least. The central bank is expected to announce a reduction in bond buying on Thursday, with analysts polled by Reuters forecasting purchases under the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme falling possibly as low as €60 billion a month from the current €80 billion. However, doves are also expected to emphasize that other tools will be ramped up.
Brokerage actions also spurred losses in stocks, with Spanish turbine maker Siemens Gamesa down 6.3 per cent after JPMorgan downgraded the stock to a “neutral” rating. Danish peer Vestas also fell 3.6 per cent.
