Global stock markets slide on gloomy economic data

Published on: 

Global shares turned lower on Friday after new economic data showed a slowdown in Europe’s economy and amid worries about a resurgence in coronavirus cases in many countries. European stocks fell after a survey of businesses found that growth in economic activity eased in August after a jump in July, when businesses were reopening from coronavirus lockdowns. The so-called PMI survey suggests that a steady rise in new coronavirus cases is undermining growth, and that the outlook for jobs remains dim.
