European stocks remained sharply lower on Monday, as growing tensions between Ukraine and Russia continued to weigh broadly on risk sentiment.
Market sentiment weakened amid fears over the unfolding crisis in the Ukraine, following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to send troops into the Crimea region.
The move sparked fears that the West will impose economic sanctions against Russia. Russia’s central bank hiked interest rates from 5.5% to 7% on Monday, after the rouble fell to new record lows against the euro and dollar.
