The war in Ukraine caused panic on the Bulgarian capital market. Sofia bourse's SOFIX index fell 7.6% to 533.29 after 1 hour of trading on March 7. This is the biggest drop for the last 9 months. It surpassed the previous low on January 11, 2021, when SOFIX fell to 650.71 points, investor.bg reported.
European bourses opened in the dark red in anticipation of a possible EU ban on Russian oil imports.
