Egypt's stock indexes EGX 30

The blue-chip index dropped 5.3% in its biggest single-day
fall since mid-2016 as all its stocks slipped into the red.

Commercial International Bank dropped 4.2% and
Eastern Co was down 5.7%.

The broader index EGX 100 slumped 5.7%, the most since
November 2012, with 95 of 100 stocks dropping, causing trading
