. . . BAD WEEK

European bankers

Credit Suisse reported losses of £344m, its first negative quarterly result since 2008. Is usually icy-cool boss Tidjane Thiam feeling the heat?

The economy

Factory output was down 1.9pc, its biggest fall in three years. Construction is falling too. Has the economic recovery stalled?

Budget airlines

EasyJet failed to get lift-off, posting £24m losses as the effects of terrorist attacks dented passenger revenue.

First-time buyers

Average house prices in London have doubled in seven years to £600,000. And they just keep rising outside the capital, too.
