“A mounting crisis at one of Portugal’s biggest banks and signs of a deepening economic slowdown in Europe have sent tremors through financial markets, triggering a sharp fall on European bourses and a flight to safety across the world. Portugal’s regulator suspended trading of Banco Espirito Santo after its share price crashed 17pc in Lisbon, reviving worries about the underlying health of Europe’s banks. Data released on Thursday showed that industrial output for May fell 1.7pc in France and 1.2pc in Italy. It has fallen for three months in a row in Germany, hit by Russia’s recession and weakness in China and Japan.”
