NEW YORK (Reuters) - A $14 billion fine for Deutsche Bank and a slide in oil prices hit financials and energy stocks on Friday, leading most global stock indexes lower.
U.S. data showing a strong increase in August consumer prices bolstered those arguing for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates later this year, helping send U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar higher.
Stocks fell as investors dumped shares of banks in North America and Europe after the U.S. Department of Justice told Deutsche Bank to pay $14 billion to settle an investigation of its selling of mortgage-backed securities.
Deutsche Bank, whose shares dropped roughly 8.5 percent, said it would fight the demand.
MSCI's world stocks index was down 0.57 percent, on pace for a second straight weekly loss.

Brent crude was down 1.4 percent at $45.94 a barrel, while U.S. crude was down 1.9 percent at $43.07.

U.S. Treasury yields, meanwhile, rose after data showed U.S. consumer prices increased more than expected in August, pointing to a steady build-up of inflation.
Benchmark 10-year notes were last up 3/32 in price to yield 1.69 percent, after trading at 1.67 percent before the data.
The so-called core CPI, which strips out food and energy costs, increased 2.3 percent in the 12 months through August, above the Fed's target of 2 percent annual inflation.
The uptick in inflation is likely to be welcomed by Fed officials when they meet next Tuesday and Wednesday to deliberate on monetary policy.
