European bank shares have dropped sharply after troubled bank Credit Suisse was bought by its Swiss rival UBS in a government-backed deal.
UBS, which purchased Credit Suisse at a fraction of its closing market value before the weekend, is now down 8% compared with an earlier slide of 13%.
Credit Suisse was the most significant failure of a crisis of confidence in the banking sector that also saw the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in the US.
Despite market turmoil in recent weeks, experts are not forecasting a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis.
