Ratings agency Moody’s threatening to cut Italy’s credit rating also boosted fears that the problems of the euro zone’s peripheral countries would spread.
Analyst Robert Halver of Baader Bank in Frankfurt said the uncertainty is what is hitting the financial markets: “I guess there will be no situation right now to calm the markets.
