A record drop in shares at Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse on Wednesday has fanned fears of a possible banking crisis.
US-listed shares at the global investment bank plummeted by more than a quarter after the bank's largest shareholder — the Saudi National Bank — said it would not inject more cash into the bank.
The Financial Times reported that Credit Suisse had appealed to the Swiss National Bank for a public show of support, citing people familiar with the matter.
At the close of trade in Europe on Wednesday, Credit Suisse's stock price was down 24%, having recovered slightly from its lowest ebb during the day.
