LONDON (Reuters) – European banking stocks headed for their largest one-day fall in nine months on Friday, a day after a sharp sell-off in U.S. banks.
Europe’s STOXX banking index fell 4.2%, set for its biggest one-day slide since early June, with declines for most major names including HSBC down 4.5% and Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) down 7.9%.
S&P 500‘s bank index finished down 6.6% on Thursday after tech-industry lender SVB Financial Group launched a share sale to shore up its balance sheet due to declining deposits from startups struggling for funding.
