Stock plummet triggers LSE trading halt

Government-held Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays among the biggest fallers

The FTSE 100 fell and the FTSE 250 dropped sharply again on Monday in the aftermath of the Brexit vote – a decision that already wiped trillions of dollars of value off global equity markets at the end of last week.

Export-oriented FTSE 100 was recently down close to 1% while domestically-focused FTSE 250 was off 3.5%. Sterling was down over 3% against the dollar.
