In other earnings disappointments, shares of Michael Kors sank, down 9 per cent as of 3.07pm, after the luxury fashion retailer offered a full-year earnings outlook that fell short of expectations.

"There doesn't seem to be an end to supply out there," Bob Yawger, director of the futures division at Mizuho Securities USA in New York, told Bloomberg. "And demand is not exactly rip-roaring."
Meanwhile, a National Association of Realtors report showed its pending home sales index fell 1.3 per cent to 109.8 in April, from a downwardly revised 111.3 in March. Significantly weak supply levels are spurring deteriorating affordability conditions, Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said in the report.
"Much of the country for the second straight month saw a pullback in pending sales as the rate of new listings continues to lag the quicker pace of homes coming off the market," according to Yun. "Realtors are indicating that foot traffic is higher than a year ago, but it's obviously not translating to more sales."
"Prospective buyers are feeling the double whammy this spring of inventory that's down 9 per cent from a year ago and price appreciation that's much faster than any rise they've likely seen in their income," Yun noted.
In Europe, the Stoxx 600 Index ended the day with a 0.21 per cent decline from the previous close. The UK's FTSE 100 Index fell 0.1 per cent, while France's CAC40 Index dropped 0.4 per cent.
Germany's DAX Index rose 0.1 per cent.
