| European stock markets fell today as concerns over Greece’s reform program and speculation about a rate hike in the U.S. outweighed optimism over the European Central Bank’s bond buys. The Stoxx Europe 600 index fell 0.8% to 390. The euro fell against the dollar to $1.07, its lowest level since April 2003, hit by Greece and the European Central Bank’s Quantitative Eeasing program. | |||||||
