The Nasdaq Composite also tumbled 0.45% after losing 1.62% on Friday. Those moves came as hot US inflation data prompted traders to dial back bets on multiple interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve this year. Investors now look ahead to US retail sales figures and Goldman Sachs’ earnings report on Monday.
