Greek banking shares take another hammering as Athens opens lower

04-Aug (Guardian) — The Athens stock exchange, which lost a record 16% on Monday, its first day of trading in five weeks, has slid a further 1.3%. Its banking index, which comprises the four main lenders, is now down 27.1%, just above the 30% daily loss limit at which trading is halted. National Bank of Greece, Greece’s biggest bank, and Attica Bank are both trading 22% lower. Without the banking stocks, the Athens index would be up on the day.
