Explosions in London batter financial markets
LONDON (Reuters) - Stocks dived and demand for government bonds and safe-haven currencies soared on Thursday after a series of explosions hit London's transport system, causing injuries and reportedly some fatalities.
The FTSE 100 index fell around 2.5 percent and other markets abroad followed suit, including the FTSEurofirst 300 which fell 2.8 percent.
Sterling sank to a 19-month low against the dollar and plunged 1 percent to a 6-week low against the euro. The safe-haven Swiss franc rose to one-month highs against sterling.
"It has become an increasing possibility that it's a terrorist incident, as opposed to initial reports of a power outage and that's moving the market," said Neil Mellor, currency strategist at Bank of New York.
London Clearing House, which matches trades, was evacuated and matches halted, but the Bank of England said it was continuing with its monetary policy committee meeting.
September Bund futures rose to contact highs. Gold surged. Insurance stocks were ebbing particularly hurt.
"We are farming out orders to other financial centres, such as Paris because of the uncertainty on the ground in London," said one London-based stock dealer.
Another said: "You can't get a price on anything on any side."
British Home Secretary Charles Clarke said the blasts in London had caused "terrible injuries" and a source at the Metronet transport consortium said there had been "some fatalities".
