European stocks traded lower Thursday as relations between China and the U.S. come under strain over Hong Kong, amid concerns that œphase one of a trade deal between the two powerhouses may be pushed into 2020.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 was 0.5% at 402.21 lower during afternoon deals, with all sectors and major bourses in negative territory. Basic resources, a sector heavily exposed to China, slipped 1.2% to lead losses, while financial services stocks shed 1.1%.
