Ban on short selling shares spurs tentative recovery

Aug 12, 2011 by Euronews

After a weak start, Europe's stock markets have risen with investors taking heart from the European Central Bank saying that the region's commercial banks are not having to borrow so much - a sign that they are no longer facing liquidity problems.

The market also reacted positively to a short-selling ban on financial shares by France, Italy, Spain and Belgium

That is to basically stop investors betting that the price of those shares is going to fall, which in turn can push the price down.
