Tension on financial markets


Concerns about the euro zone and to oil prices continue to stopping global exchanges. In Tokyo, the Nikkei fell more than 3% at closing. Hong Kong, Seoul and Sydney also finished in the red, although the drop is less pronounced.


In Europe, the stock exchanges of Paris and Frankfurt rebounded slightly this morning after dropping more than 3% yesterday. On the foreign exchange market, the euro regained a little against the greenback, but remains below $ 1.20.


Investors are worried about a possible Greek exit from the eurozone and the continuing slump in oil prices. US crude barrel (WTI) fell below the symbolic threshold of $ 50, a first since 2009.
