July 19 (Reuters) -European shares clocked weekly losses as a selloff in technology shares, some downbeat earnings along with falling commodity-linked stocks weighed, ending a tumultuous week marked by a global tech outage on Friday.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index .STOXX closed 0.8% lower, slipping to a more than two-week low and logging a weekly decline of more than 2%, its biggest weekly fall so far this year.
Trading in oil, gas, power, stocks, currencies and bonds was on its way back to business as usual after a sweeping global cyber outage hampered operations at financial services firms and banks from London to Singapore, although residual data problems remained.
Italy's bourse said that its FTSE MIB .FTMIB index was again being updated regularly after its functioning was affected earlier by the global IT outage. It ended down 0.9%.
Travel and leisure shares .SXTP were amongst top decliners with a 2.1% fall, driven by a 8.3% fall in Sweden's Evolution EVOG.ST after missing second quarter top-line and earnings expectations.
Miners .SXPP shed 2.1% on lower commodity prices due to the lack of Chinese stimulus measures, while heavyweight energy shares .SXEP slipped close to 1% amid lower crude oil prices. MET/L O/R
Tech shares .SX8P were down 1% on the day and were the worst performing sector this week with a near 9% tumble.
Referring to tech stocks, Michael Field, Morningstar's European market strategist said that "when valuations get high, the stocks are kind of vulnerable to market sentiment more so than before and it doesn't take much to move the needle."
The European benchmark logged its fifth consecutive session of losses as investors grapple with political developments in the United States and the possibility of tougher trade rules that led to a rout in technology shares.
Lack of policy direction from the European Central Bank following its decision to hold rates steady earlier in the week also added to investors' uncertainty.
Among other stocks, Sartorius SATG.DE was down 13.1% after the pharmaceutical equipment supplier cut its full-year guidance.
Ubisoft UBIP.PA dropped 14% after the French video game maker posted a smaller-than-expected rise in quarterly net bookings and forecast second quarter bookings below analysts' estimates.
On the flip side, Danske Bank DANSKE.CO, Denmark's biggest lender, surged 7.7% as it beat second-quarter net profit expectations.
Tomra TOM.OL jumped 13.3% after the Norwegian waste management provider beat estimates on second-quarter results.
