Inflation shock drives European stocks to 3-month lows

European stocks tumbled to three-month lows on Monday, dragged down by technology and travel stocks, as a sharp rise in U.S. inflation raised concerns about aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 1.9% to its lowest since March 8. High-growth technology stocks (DE.EXV3) dropped 3.3% to lead the morning losses as government bond yields hit multi-year highs on bets of a faster tightening of monetary policy, with economy-linked sectors such as travel &amp leisure (DE.EXV9) and automakers (DE.EXV5) also shedding more than 3%. The mood turned dark following a sharp Wall Street sell-off on Friday after data showed U.S. consumer prices surged 8.6% in May, its biggest gain since 1981, raising worries about a bigger 75-basis-point rate hike at the Fed meeting this week.
