10 European ADRs Leading Sell-Off (MT, BHP, DB, FTE, PHG, ERIC, NOK, NBG, SI, TI, UBS)

Today’s selling is actually based on weak Chinese manufacturing data rather than any direct E.U. woes.  We have focused on mostly European ADRs this morning for the big movers and shakers, or movers and quakers, because they are still trading overseas at this point on the clock.  Greece has agreed to more immediate austerity measures although central bank warnings are not adding much great support this morning as well.  These are the ADRs of mostly European companies which have traded this morning and are leading the markets lower:
