On Monday, the leading stock indicators of Western Europe showed a decline amid negative dynamics of stock exchanges in the Asia-Pacific region. The general pessimism on the world markets was also provoked by investors' concern about further tightening of the monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve in the context of permanently rising inflation. In addition, the tense situation in Ukraine has returned to the agenda.
Thus, at the time of writing, the composite index of the leading companies in Europe STOXX Europe 600 sank by 0.68% - to 389.21 points, reaching a weekly low.
Meanwhile, the French CAC 40 shed 0.53%, the German DAX rose a symbolic 0.05% and the UK FTSE 100 shed 0.45%.

The quotes of the British online retailer THG PLC fell by 7.8%.
The market capitalization of the German energy company Uniper SE decreased by 7.5%.

On Monday morning it was reported that the Bank of England will increase the maximum volume of daily auctions for the redemption of government bonds under the temporary program. The British central bank announced the start of the program on September 28.

In total, the central bank bought bonds for $5.5 billion, although it had previously stated that it was ready to buy securities for 40 billion pounds.
Last Friday, a stronger-than-expected labor market report was published in the United States. As a result, the September figures from the US Department of Labor increased investors' concern that the Fed will continue to raise the interest rate in an attempt to cope with record inflation.

At the same time, trading volumes were insignificant due to the holidays in Japan and South Korea. Thus, the Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 stock indicator sank by 2.21%, and the Shanghai Composite lost 1.66%.
The main factor of pressure on the Asia-Pacific exchanges on Monday was the securities of chip manufacturers.

Under the new rules, Chinese companies will no longer have access to some semiconductor materials produced on United States equipment.

Another factor of pressure on Asian stock markets was the release of fresh data that by the end of September, the country's services sector declined amid permanent disruptions related to the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.
