On Tuesday, European equities faltered at the start of 2018 because autos shares dived and an impressive run-up in metals as well as mining stocks reversed. Meanwhile, strength in crude companies and financial institutions was not enough to tame the slide.
The STOXX 600 lost 0.3%, while euro zone stocks STOXXE edged down 0.4%.
Autos stocks SXAP descended 2%, set for their biggest daily dive since July 2017, suppressed by weaker car registrations data.
In France, in December, new car sales dived 0.51% and the share of new diesel vehicles sank below 50% for the first time since 2000.
Traders also hinted at a report in Britain's Daily Telegraph citing estimates that British car registrations data, due out on Friday, would demonstrate a 5% dip in new car sales.
BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Renault, Peugeot and Volkswagen all appeared to be among top losers, sliding 2.4%-2.8%.
As for basic resources stocks, they fell back too, with the sector index sliding 0.8%.
