LONDON, Jan 21 (Reuters) - European shares sank 4 percent by late morning on Monday, putting them on track for their biggest one-day fall in more than four and a half years as U.S. recession fears rattled investors and oils and financials took a hammering.
At 1108 GMT, the FTSEurofirst index index of top European shares was down 3.9 percent at 1,304.98 points, a level not seen in eighteen months.
Heavyweight energy stocks were the top individual negative weights, with BP (BP.L: Quote, Profile, Research) down 4.6 percent and Total (TOTF.PA: Quote, Profile, Research) 4.5 percent. But banks were the worst sector, contributing a quarter of the index's losses.
"This looks like a climax sell-off," said Brewin Dolphin chief strategist Mike Lenhoff.
