Barclays Bank and Easyjet shares fall amid FTSE 100 volatility

UK shares remain volatile in the wake of the Brexit vote, with some stocks temporarily suspended. Barclays shares fell more than 12 per cent, while Royal Bank of Scotland fell more than 14 per cent, causing a momentary halt as automatic circuit breakers kicked in.

Easyjet’s shares fell more than 18 per cent after the airline said Brexit would contribute to a fall in revenues. It came as sterling hit a 31-year low, and yields on 10-year government bonds sank below 1 per cent for the first time. Property shares were also badly hit, prompting a trading halt, on worries that the decision to leave the EU would hit the housing market.
