Closing stock market indices

Major stock markets outside the United States ended on Monday.
EUROPE STOCKS EXCHANGE: European stocks ended the session in negative territory, with lacklustre banks offsetting gains by oil producers amid security and interest rate concerns. Among major movers, airlines including British Airways and Lufthansa fell as investors were rattled by a British bomb plot, while talk of bid interest from Xstrata sent shares in miner Lonmin higher.
"There is still some positive momentum, cautious but positive. Nobody would like to sell right now," said Andreas Kampe, fund manager at Bayern Invest in Munich. "During the summer months we won't see any major breakouts on the upside or the downside, so we are rather going sideways in a very tight range." The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European stocks closed down 0.4 percent at 1,599.8 points, after dipping as low as 1,594.6 points as the index snapped two days of gains.

SYDNEY STOCKS EXCHANGE: Australian shares fell 0.18 percent, its first trading session of a new financial year, as banks fell on lingering worries about the US subprime mortgage sector, overshadowing gains in energy firms on firmer oil prices. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index fell 11.6 points to close at 6,263.3.
JOHANNESBURG STOCKS EXCHANGE: Shares closed stronger with index heavyweight Anglo American jumping over seven percent ahead of the separate listing of its paper manufacturing unit Mondi on Tuesday.
