Luxury-goods shares and drinks shares lose ground

  • European stocks drop as spirit-makers lag
  • Oil stocks gain as Brent crude advances
  • Luxury-goods shares and drinks shares lose ground
  • Negative sentiment in London due to downbeat economic and trade data

European stocks fell as losses for drinks and luxury-goods shares offset gains for oil and arms companies. Spirit-makers such as Pernod Ricard, Remy Cointreau, and Davide Campari-Milano lost ground after a profit warning from Diageo. Compagnie Financiere Richemont, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, and Kering were among the biggest luxury-goods fallers. On the other hand, oil stocks gained as Brent crude advanced. Negative sentiment in London was compounded by downbeat economic and trade data, with the British economy stalling in the third quarter, its weakest performance in four quarters.
