European shares slide on hawkish Fed; more c.bank decisions on tap




European shares fell on Thursday, tracking overnight losses on Wall Street after the U.S. Federal Reserve signalled higher-for-longer interest rates and ahead of rate decisions from the Swiss National Bank, Riksbank, Norges Bank and Bank of England.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index shed 0.6% by 0709 GMT, with rate-sensitive tech stocks easing 0.8%.
