Europe shares down on recession fear
European shares fell on Thursday, echoing U.S. and Asian equity markets amid mounting fears of a global economic slowdown which weighed heavily on raw material stocks such as steelmaker ArcelorMittal. Stocks were above early lows, however, and by 5:08 a.m. EDT the FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was down 2.5 per cent at 881.49 points, having dropped as much as 5.6 per cent initially. "The situation on the financial markets remains tense," German bank Helaba said. Morgan Stanley addressed the same theme, saying that while the decisive fiscal, monetary and regulatory action taken was likely to prevent a 1930s-style depression, "a recession in the industrialized world is still in the cards."The recession will not be particularly deep but will be quite prolonged, and will at best be followed by a subpar recovery," Morgan Stanley said.
Cheapear oil
Energy stocks lost ground as the crude oil price fell more than 3 per cent to trade near USD 72 a barrel. "The timing, speed and extent of any potential global economic recovery are very difficult to pin down," Credit Suisse said, cutting its 2009 crude oil price forecast to USD 75 a barrel from USD 110.Among financials, the focus was on UBS and Credit Suisse VSGN.VX after news that Switzerland's two largest banks will receive billions of francs of emergency funding from the Swiss government and others to shore them up against the financial crisis.
