Investors awaited China’s fourth quarter GDP data due on Tuesday which could show a further slowdown in the world’s second biggest economy with growth pegged at 6.8 per cent, year on year by analysts, down from 6.9 per cent in Q3.

Oil slid below the USD 30 per barrel mark to a fresh 12-year low with Iran rattling markets by getting ready to increase its shipments by 500,000 barrels per day after the lift-off of West-imposed sanctions against the Islamic Republic over the weekend, threatening to deepen a global supply surplus.

Wall Street tumbled on Friday with benchmark S&P 500 sinking to the lowest level since August amidst an ongoing commodity rout and contractions in retail sales & factory output which signaled renewed concerns over the health of the world’s biggest economy.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 2.39 per cent; the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.74 per cent while S&P 500 declined 2.16 per cent.

European shares ended on Friday at their lowest since mid-December 2014, hit by losses in commodity-related stocks as BHP Billiton announced a major writedown and oil fell below $30 a barrel.
