Athens--The Athens stock market plunged more than six percent on Tuesday amid jitters over whether the new far-left government will renege on Greece's international bailouts.

The main Athex index had opened down 6.39 percent, reaching a low of 761 points before recovering slightly to 776 points, or 4.59 percent lower than Monday's close.
