European equities ended mixed on Monday, failing to hold onto last week's strong gains, as investors grew cautious over oil prices and individual stock news.

Weighed down by miners, London's FTSE 100 (FTSE International: .FTSE) ended 0.7 percent lower, while the French CAC (Euronext Paris: .FCHI) finished down 0.2 percent.

The German DAX (^GDAXI) however closed up 0.4 percent, helped by high gains from its utility firms, E.ON and RWE.

At Europe's close, U.S. stocks traded in narrow range , as investors continued to eye commodity prices and readied for earnings season.

WERBUNG

Overnight, equity markets in China led gains in Asia on Monday, amid expectations that Beijing will roll out further stimulus measures to ward off a sharper slowdown in the world's second-largest economy.

German energy firms E.ON and RWE (XETRA:RWE-DE) were seen trading higher after the companies passed a government stress test on whether they have enough funds to pay for the decommissioning of the country's nuclear reactors. Both companies pared gains in the late session, with RWE shares up 7.8 percent while E.ON was trading 3.7 percent higher. The majority of the utilities sector however was in the red.

Finnish pulp and paper maker Stora Enso (Helsinki Stock Exchange: STERV-FI) said third-quarter operating profit would be larger than expected, sending shares in the firm 11.6 percent higher, before paring gains up 6 percent.

Fiat Chrysler (Milan Stock Exchange: FCA-IT) launched its initial public offering (IPO) of Ferrari. The Italian auto firm owns 90 percent of Ferrari's issued and outstanding share capital. The initial public offering price is expected to be between $48 and $52 per share and will trade under the symbol "RACE" on the New York Stock Exchange. Shares in Fiat Chrysler pared gains up 0.9 percent. BMW (XETRA:BMW-DE) shares were also 1.7 percent higher after it reported record September sales.

Brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev (Euronext Brussels: ABI-BE) was trading roughly flat after Reuters cited a source saying it may raise its takeover offer for SABMiller (London Stock Exchange: SAB-GB) ahead of Wednesday's bid deadline . Shares in SABMiller pared sharp gains, down 1.9 percent.

London-listed miner Glencore (London Stock Exchange: GLEN-GB) extended losses to trade 5.5 percent lower after the company said it plans to sell copper mines as it looks to slash its debt pile. Other firms were dragged down by this, with Antofagasta (London Stock Exchange: ANTO-GB) and Anglo American (London Stock Exchange: AAL-GB) in the red.

In the commodity space, oil and gas firms were trading in the red, as last week's oil rally lost steam on Monday. Brent crude oil was trading 63 cents down at $52.02 a barrel, while U.S. light crude was at $48.86. Tullow oil (London Stock Exchange: TLW-GB), Petrofac (London Stock Exchange: PFC-GB) and Statoil (Oslo Stock Exchange: STL-NO) were all sharply lower.
