AND HERE YOU HAVE YOUR POSSIBLE FINANCIAL TRIGGER POINT.....

Deutsche Bank has warned it will lose more than €6bn (£4.4bn) in the third quarter in a record loss.

In a late-night announcement that shocked analysts, Germany’s biggest bank blamed huge impairment charges of €5.8bn for the unexpected losses. Forecasts had been for profits of about €1bn.
