Here is how major stock markets outside the United States ended on Monday, according to Reuters. LONDON - Share prices for Britain's biggest companies ended lower, as investors said the market looked overextended after its latest leap to fresh four-year highs and sold heavily weighted oils, miners and telecoms stocks such as energy giant BP and mobile phone group Vodafone. The FTSE 100 closed down 46.4 points or 0.84 percent at 5,477.4 -- off an initial session peak of 5,554.9 points, the index's latest four-year high. Oils accounted for around half of the drop as BP lost 2.5 percent and Cairn Energy fell 2.3 percent. EUROPE - European share prices closed at their lowest level in 10 days, hit by a fall in oil firms that dragged indexes off the 3-1/2-year highs reached earlier in the session. BP, Total and Royal Dutch Shell packed the list of losers and fell between 1.2 and 2.5 percent. The weakness in oil companies came as U.S. crude oil futures shed 2.6 percent to $57.1 per barrel. The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index closed 0.7 percent weaker at 1,239.8 points -- the day's low -- and below the high of 1,255.1 points. FRANKFURT - The DAX index ended at 5,176.59 points, down 17.68 or 0.34 percent. --More 0004 Local Time 2104 GMT
