Portugal's largest private bank, Banco Comercial Portugu锚s, has had a third short selling ban imposed upon it in just six days.
Portugal鈥檚 financial markets authority, the CMVM, was forced to enact a new 24-hour ban on short sales of the bank鈥檚 shares after its share price fell below the required 10 percent threshold in a single trading day.
The latest ban will end at 11.59pm on 8 June.
The bank's share price closed at 0.03 EU cents on 7 June and opened at 0.02 EU cents on 8 June.
The first two trading bans came on the 1 June and 6 June after similar price drops and also lasted for a day.
