This is CNBC's live blog covering European markets.

European markets closed higher Monday as investors digested two big economic data releases out of the euro zone.

The pan-European Stoxx 600 had nudged 0.4% higher by the close, with travel and leisure stocks climbing 1.5% while retail stocks fell 0.5%. For the month, stocks finished up by over 6%.

The upbeat session came after a shaky end to last week as investors digested the European Central Bank's decision to raise its interest rate by 75 basis points.

Euro zone GDP and inflation data, published Monday, pointed to further pain ahead for the 19-member bloc, with consumer price inflation soaring to a record high in October and growth slowing markedly in the third quarter.

Elsewhere overnight, shares in Asia-Pacific were mostly higher on Monday despite China factory activity missing expectations. On Wall Street, stocks slipped Monday but the major averages were poised to snap a two-month losing streak. Markets were looking ahead to the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting later this week for a key interest rate decision.

Big Tech continues slide coming out of centerfold earnings week

Big Technology stocks continued to struggle as investors migrated following largely disappointing earnings reported last week.

Meta, hitting another 52-week low, is down 4.2% Monday. Its share value is 25% lower than where it opened on Oct. 24, the Monday of its earnings week. The Facebook parent beat on revenue, but came in under Wall Street expectations for earnings and issues weak guidance for the fourth quarter.

Microsoft shares were down 1.8% Monday, sitting 4.9% lower than where they opened on Oct. 24. The company exceeded expectations of both per-share earnings and revenue, but investors were disappointed when the company reported weaker-than-expected cloud revenue and gave uninspiring quarterly guidance.

Google-parent Alphabet was trading down 2.3% in trading Monday and 7.6% from where it started its earnings week. The company missed expectations for top and bottom lines and said it would cut headcount growth as it attempted to mitigate sliding ad spending.

Amazon slid 2.2% Monday to 15.6% lower than where it opened Oct. 24. Despite reporting double-digit growth in the third quarter, its revenue was below expectations. The company also expects fourth-quarter revenue to come in lower than anticipated.

Apple shed 1.8% during trading on Monday despite reporting stronger earnings compared to its Big Tech counterparts. The personal technology giant beat expectations for earnings per share and revenue, but some product-specific revenues came in under expectations, including for the iPhone. The stock is still trading 3.7% higher than where it opened Oct. 24.

Moody's: Euro zone contraction likely in the fourth quarter

Following Monday's sharp slowdown in euro zone GDP, Moody's Analytics reiterated its projection for a contraction in the fourth quarter.

"Judging by the details released out of Spain and France, we expect to see weaker consumer spending, due to the squeeze on real disposable incomes, with potential upside from government spending and investments," Ross Cioffi, economist at Moody's Analytics.

"Net trade, by contrast, will likely detract from GDP. Even with the better third quarter data, the outlook for the final quarter of the year is little changed. Intense stress on both supply and demand channels will cause a contraction in fourth quarter GDP."

Credit Suisse shares are a 'steal,' say new Saudi backers after taking 9.9% stake

The chairman of one of Credit Suisse's newest and biggest shareholders called on the beleaguered bank to deliver a swift overhaul and return to a "very stable, conservative Swiss banking posture."

"We got it at the floor price. I think the bank has been battered," Ammar Alkhudairy told CNBC's Hadley Gamble on Sunday. "It's trading at less than a quarter of book value, of tangible book value, which is, which is a steal. And it's 160-year-old brand, the brand has a lot of value."

The bank is reportedly set to become the second-largest shareholder of Credit Suisse, second to Harris Associates.

The SNB chairman cited Credit Suisse's investment banking unit as the Achilles' heel of the company, accentuated by the current climate of increased market volatility.

Euro zone inflation surges to record high

Euro zone inflation soared to a record high of 10.7% annually in October, up from 9.9% in September, according to new data published Monday.

Consumer price growth across the 19-member bloc had been projected to come in at 10.2% in a Reuters poll of economists, but Eurostat data showed inflation in Germany, France and Italy outpacing expectations as energy, food and imported industrial goods all drove prices higher.

The reading indicates that the European Central Bank will need to continue with aggressive interest rate hikes, having already raised rates by 200 basis points over the last three months, and will further cement market expectations for a recession.

Euro zone economic growth slows in the third quarter

Euro zone economic growth rose by a meager 0.2% in the third quarter, according to preliminary data published Monday.

The figure represents a year-on-year increase of 2.1%, down from a quarterly 0.8% and annual 4.3% in the second quarter, in line with expectations and reinforcing market projections that the 19-member currency bloc will slide into recession during the coming quarters.

Wheat prices rise almost 6% after Russia pulls out of grain export deal

Global wheat prices have started to rise following Russia's withdrawal from the Black Sea grain export deal last weekend.

The most-active wheat contract on the Chicago Board of Trade jumped 5.8% to $8.77-1/2 a bushel around midnight London time, according to Reuters, after earlier hitting a high of $8.93 a bushel. Corn and soybean prices also rose.

The increases come after Russia announced Saturday that it was suspending its involvement in the Black Sea Grain Initiative that was brokered in July and which allowed vital agricultural products to be exported from several Ukrainian ports.

Russia announced Saturday that it was withdrawing from the deal for an indefinite period after it accused Ukraine of a "massive" drone attack on the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol in Crimea.

Ukraine has not said whether it was responsible for the attack. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia's withdrawal from the initiative was "rather predictable" and the global food crisis would worsen.

Moscow's move was "an absolutely transparent intention of Russia to return the threat of large-scale famine to Africa and Asia," Zelenskyy said, adding that "access to food has actually worsened for more than 7 million consumers."

The UN and Turkey, which helped Ukraine and Russia to reach the grain deal, have agreed a plan with Ukraine to help move 16 vessels (12 outbound and 4 inbound) that are stuck within the maritime corridor used to export grains.

The organization overseeing grain exports, the Joint Coordination Centre, said in a statement Sunday that "in order to continue fulfilling the Initiative, it was proposed that the Turkish and United Nations delegations provide tomorrow 10 inspection teams aiming to inspect 40 outbound vessels. This inspection plan has been accepted by the delegation of Ukraine. The Russian Federation delegation has been informed."

Credit Suisse announces sale of 462 million shares at 3.82 Swiss francs

Credit Suisse on Monday revealed that "qualified investors" have committed to buying over 462 million new shares at a purchase price of 3.82 Swiss francs ($3.83), as the embattled lender looks to raise 4 billion Swiss francs in capital.

The expected gross proceeds of the share placement are expected to total 1.76 billion Swiss francs, the bank said in a statement, with the Saudi National Bank (SNB) accounting for 307,591,623 of the new shares to bring its holding of Credit Suisse stock to 9.9%.

The capital raise will fund a massive business overhaul at Switzerland's second-largest lender following a string of scandals and heavy losses.

Traders looking for sign of a slowdown from Fed

Wall Street will be watching the Federal Reserve statement closely this week for signs that the central bank will ease up on its rate hike pace.

According to the CME FedWatch tool, traders believe there is an 80% chance that the Fed hikes rates by three quarters of a point on Wednesday.

That would bring the central bank's target range to 3.75% to 4%.

Beyond that, however, the market looks more uncertain. There is just a 44% probability of another hike of that size in December.

The U.S. dollar has more room to strengthen on rate differentials: Wells Fargo

The U.S. dollar is expected to strengthen further due to rate differentials since central banks around the world are taking a "less hawkish" tone, according to Wells Fargo.

"We're starting to see some of the foreign central banks ... turn a little bit on the less hawkish side," while the Federal Reserve maintains its hawkish stance, FX strategist Brendan McKenna said on CNBC's "Squawk Box Asia."

McKenna said he expects dollar strengthening to continue into the first quarter of next year "at minimum."

Factory activity in China shrank in October, missing expectations

China's factory activity shrank in October compared with September, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed.

The official manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index print came in at 49.2, missing expectations for a reading of 50 — the mark that separates monthly growth from contraction.

In September, the PMI reading stood at 50.1.

China's official non-manufacturing PMI came in at 48.7, compared with a print of 50.6 in September.
