LONDON: European stock markets dropped yesterday when banking share prices tumbled in reaction to the eurozone's deepening debt crisis.

London's FTSE 100 index of top shares fell 0.58 per cent to 5,988.58 points approaching midday trade, Frankfurt's DAX 30 slipped 0.23 per cent to 7,422.38 points and in Paris the CAC 40 index lost 0.36 per cent to 3,964.88.

The Stoxx 50 index of leading eurozone companies shed 0.63 percent to 2,832.99 points.

At 1123 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was down 0.6 per cent at 1,115.82 points.

Moody's Investors Service late on Tuesday slashed its credit rating on indebted eurozone struggler Portugal, bailed out earlier this year, by four notches to Ba2 from Baa1, warning it could be lowered further. - Agencies
