The S&P/BNY Mellon index of American depositary receipts retreated 1.4%, to 152.30. The European index edged down 1.1%, to 147.54. The Asian index lost 2%, to 174.44. The Latin American index shed 1.2%, to 206.43, while the emerging-markets index sank 1.5%, to 293.75.

Biodexa Pharmaceuticals was among those whose ADRs traded actively.
