European shares ended the week lower after jobs data from the United States triggered selling pressure as investors try to gauge the timing of the next US rate hike.
While there was an initially positive market reaction to the data, which showed the US economy had created fewer jobs than expected last month, a fall in the unemployment rate to a 7-1/2-year low meant the release did not decisively quash expectations of an interest rate hike as early as this month.
"Sentiment is quite nervous...I think more and more investors blame central banks for not acting in the current environment to bring stabilisation," said Ingo Speich, portfolio manager at Union Investment in Frankfurt.
