Preview

The value of stocks on the Athens Stock Exchange dropped sharply Monday after the exchange opened for the first time in five weeks. The exchange index lost almost one fourth of its value soon after trading began, but share prices improved a little after a few hours.

Slowing economic activity in China and falling oil prices also caused Asian stock market indexes to drop sharply during early trading on Monday. A report said China’s manufacturing activity in July fell to its lowest level in two years.
