European equities and the FTSE 100 fell on August 14, with London's benchmark down 0.21% to 10,750.11 for a fifth straight daily loss and a weekly decline of 1.38%, as mining and healthcare shares offset gains in defense, technology and selected UK names. Antofagasta dropped 4.6% after a 6.8% fall a day earlier as lower copper prices and a cut to full-year copper production guidance hurt sentiment, while Glencore, Anglo American, Rio Tinto, AstraZeneca and GSK also weakened; Shell rose 1%, Aviva gained nearly 2% after first-half profit rose 24%, and Fresnillo and Endeavour recovered to finish nearly flat as gold and silver rebounded. The broader STOXX Europe 600 fell 0.21% to 657.86 for a weekly loss of 0.36% as investors also tracked higher eurozone bond yields, expectations for additional ECB rate hikes, and the U.S.-Iran standoff over the Strait of Hormuz.
