World Markets Bloodbath

Link to: Bloomberg


WORLD markets suffered another hammering today as fresh Eurozone and US debt fears wiped another £46billion from the value of London's FTSE 100 index.

The index plunged three per cent to its lowest point for nearly a year as investors panicked that America could slide back into recession and Italy and Spain may need bailouts.

More than £75billion has now been wiped off London's top flight index in the past two days as confidence in the global recovery collapses.

There has been a similar bloodbath on markets across the globe as the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the US, the CAC 40 in France and the DAX in Germany all plunged more than two per cent.
