More than £25bn was wiped off the value of Britain's biggest companies on Tuesday as traders dumped risky assets and fled to safety as fears grew that Greece will leave the euro and trigger a fresh crisis. The FTSE 100 slid 1.8 per cent to close at its lowest level this year, falling 100 points to 5,554, following the Greek electorate's rejection of the austerity measures that are a condition of its two bail-outs, worth a combined €219bn. European markets followed suit, with Germany's Dax dropping almost 2 per cent and France's CAC sliding nearly 3 per cent. The US Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 1.3 per cent in early trading after digesting the weekend's tumultuous developments for a second day, The Telegraph says.
