Germany's DAX lost 0.50 percent. Switzerland's SMI slipped 0.36 percent whereas U.K.'s FTSE 100 closed with losses of 0.60 percent.

The pan-European Stoxx 50 Futures (Sep) has gained 0.08 percent. The SMI Futures (Sep) has also added 0.06 percent on Wednesday. The DAX Futures (Sep) is trading 0.02 percent higher.

Asian stock markets are trading on a mixed note.

The Dollar Index, a measure of the U.S. dollar's strength relative to six currencies, is trading 0.19 percent higher at 98.43. Gold and Crude oil prices are trading with mild overnight losses.

The EUR/USD pair has in the meanwhile declined 0.21 percent to 1.1617 whereas the GBP/USD pair has dropped 0.16 percent to trade at 1.3461.
