During the day, the title came the fall about 8 percent, down for the first time below ten euros, a volatility stimulated by doubts about its soundness.
"Deutsche Bank is the fourth bank is more systemic in the world. When one begins to have doubt about an entity of this size, it is normal that affects the whole world", told AFP the director of Research of the Axiom AI, Jérôme Legras.
The banks systemic are considered to be key in the global financial system and, therefore, too big to break – the so-called institutions "Too Big to Fail".
There are several days, the eyes are turned to the fine of 14 billion announced by the american Justice and that now may be reduced.
in Addition to this threat, many analysts are preoccupied with their problems of profitability and compare the situation with that of the Lehman Brothers, the bank whose break has sparked, in 2008, the global financial crisis.
On Wednesday of last week, the German Finance minister had to deny that the government is preparing a rescue plan. This Friday (30), however, the action resumed briefly, given that several investment funds have reduced their participation in the entity.

Joel Kruger, an analyst for the LMAX Exchange, is less optimistic, and ensures that even if the "panic" is not the same to that of the Lehman Brothers in 2008, governments and central banks do not have the same instruments.
