European stock markets fell after hawkish remarks from the Federal Reserve indicated that interest rate cuts next year would be fewer than expected. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index closed down 1.5%, with all sectors declining. Semiconductor stocks also fell after Micron Technology issued a disappointing revenue forecast, dragging down European chip equipment manufacturers including ASML Holding and BE Semiconductor Industries NV.
