Credit Suisse shares traded on the Swiss Stock Exchange on Friday, March 10, renewed their all-time low amid a sell-off in U.S. banking sector securities. Quotes fell 6.1% to 2,463 Swiss francs (about $2.65) at the moment.

Shares of European banks fell after the collapse in the U.S. banking sector, writes RBC.
