Italienische Bankaktien stürzen ab, Handel teilweise ausgesetzt

Shares in Italy's largest banks, including Unicredit, Intesa SanPaolo and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, have fallen sharply Monday after the head of Italy's banking association and its biggest industry lobbies called on the European Central Bank (ECB) buy bonds.

After Italian banks shares were halted for some of today's trading session, Unicredit, Intesa SanPaolo and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena stocks fell by over 10 percent as of 1400 GMT, on investor fears that the banks are finding it difficult to shore up capital.
