US equities broke one more record before the widely awaited Federal Reserve (Fed) decision, while the Stoxx 600 fell more than 1% as rate-sensitive sectors including banks and insurers led the index lower.

These elements will define expectations for how far and how fast easing progresses from here.
The euro is sharply higher after German investor confidence was higher than expected. US retail sales also beat expectations but consumer sentiment remains weak. The Fed is virtually certain to reduce interest rates at Wednesday's meeting.
