Nov 8 (Reuters) -Europe's benchmark STOXX 600 logged its third consecutive week of declines on Friday, hurt by underwhelming stimulus measures from China as well as concerns about tariffs under a Trump presidency hurting economic growth.
The pan-European STOXX 600 .STOXX closed down 0.6%, with China-exposed sectors such as miners .SXPP and luxury .STXLUXP losing more than 3% each. Most major subsectors were in the red barring defensive sectors such as real estate and healthcare.
China unveiled a 10 trillion yuan ($1.40 trillion) debt package on Friday, disappointing investors who had speculated on a fiscal bazooka. Metal prices retreated in response, weighing on miners such as Rio Tinto RIO.L and Glencore GLEN.L. MET/L
"The optimism seen on Wall Street has been entirely absent from the UK index, as heavyweight mining stocks shed ground after the National Policy Committee failed to unveil anything of note," said Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at IG.
Richemont CFR.S dropped 6.6% after the Cartier jewellery brand owner reported a 1% dip in sales during the three months to the end of September.
Most French luxury stocks fell, with LVMH LVMH.PA losing 3.3% and Kering PRTP.PA shedding 8%.
The European benchmark logged weekly losses of 0.2%, also as investors assessed the likelihood of tariffs after Donald Trump recaptured the U.S. presidency with a sweeping victory earlier in the week.
"Most people ahead of the election said Trump is maybe good for the U.S., but it's not good for the rest of the world, and it's particularly not good for regions that depend on exporting to the U.S. consumer, which is very much Europe," said Guy Stear, head of developed markets strategy at Amundi.
