US stocks open lower, continuing a losing streak; Shanghai’s index dives 8 per cent
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Stocks were solidly lower in early trading Monday, following a steep sell-off in China and other global markets.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 147 points, or 0.8 per cent, to 17,420 as of 10:04 a.m. Eastern time. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 13 points, or 0.6 per cent, to 2,066 and the Nasdaq composite lost 40 points, or 0.8 per cent, to 5,047.
The main focus for investors was the precipitous 8.5 percentage point fall on the Shanghai market overnight, which was the biggest one-day decline since February 2007. It was the latest big drop in the Chinese stock market, which has been falling since early June.
Some analysts said the dive was set off by brokerages restricting credit used to finance stock purchases, also known as margin trading. Chinese authorities took aggressive steps to stabilize the market after it tumbled last month, wiping away about $3.2 trillion in market value. Analysts have been skeptical that such gravity-defying efforts could be sustained…

Officials from Greece’s creditors arrive in Athens to get bailout deal negotiations into gear
– canadianbusiness.com
ATHENS, Greece – Technical talks over Greece’s third bailout in five years are poised to start in the next day or so as negotiators representing the country’s creditors continued arriving in Athens Monday.
The talks involving lower-levels officials, delayed from last Friday, are set to incorporate a wide array of issues such as pensions and labour market reforms.
They are designed to pave the way for high-level discussions between Greek ministers and top officials from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund that should start later this week.
Worries that the discussions over Greece’s bailout are dragging out have weighed on stock markets across Europe on Monday. The Stoxx 50 index of leading European shares was down 1.5 per cent.
After passing a series of reforms demanded by creditors, the Greek government is hoping that negotiations on the bailout will be completed by Aug. 20 when the country has a big debt repayment of around 3.2 billion euros ($3…
