Greece stock market faces more losses as prospect of new elections grows

The Greek stock market has suffered a second day of losses since reopening, as the left-wing government conceded dissent within the ruling party was likely to force an early election.

The main index was down 4% soon after the start of trading on Tuesday, with some banks again hitting the 30% lower trading limit. Shares plummeted 16.2% on Monday, when it reopened after a five-week closure.
