Few Fed officials signaled on Wednesday that they would push on with more interest rate hikes, hurting prices of stocks and bonds.

The benchmark DAX slipped half a percent to 15,105 after finishing marginally lower in the previous session.

Electrical company Encavis plunged 7 percent as Barclays downgraded its rating on the stock to "underweight" from "equal weight".
