There is apprehension that the new levies could fuel inflationary pressures, cause disruptions in global supply chains and lead to trade wars.

The U.K. Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to its highest since August 2024 at 52.5 from 51.0 in February.

The German DAX tumbled 1.4 percent, France's CAC 40 plummeted 1.8 percent and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 lost 1 percent.

Banks led losses, with BNP Paribas, Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank falling 3-5 percent.
