Markedets nedgang ramte bredt og navnlig blandt bankaktier, hvilket viste, at nedgangen ikke i så høj grad skyldtes aktier alene, men snarere de forværrede økonomiske og finansielle markedsforhold og den dermed forbundne stigning i de krævede risikopræmier.
The market decline was widespread, and especially so amongst banking stocks, indicating that it was not so much linked to stock-specifics but rather to worsened economic and financial market conditions and the associated increase in required risk premiums.
