German Banks Lose Nearly $21 Billion in 90 Days

Fear struck local markets as shares in Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank – the country’s two biggest lenders – plummeted again. Deutsche Bank lost 4%, hitting an all-time low reminiscent of the financial crisis of 2009. Commerzbank fell by nearly 5%, closing at the lowest level the company has seen in over two years.

Last week, the bank reported record losses of more than £5.1 billion, enough to incite a panicked wave of selling. The news was paralleled by another stock market crash on Tuesday that took billions from big banks in the UK.
