Volkswagen was removed from the Euro Stoxx 50 after its shares fell to a 16-year low, the Financial Times reported. The ejection from Europe's blue-chip index added to pressure on the German carmaker, which the outlet described as crisis-hit. The RSS material did not identify the replacement company or effective date.
