European stock markets down, euro stable

2020-01-22T16:55:02.445Z

Another session in decline for the European stock exchanges, also intimidated by the threats of commercial retaliation by the American President Donald Trump. Milan has lost - like Paris - 0.58%. London sold 0.51%, Frankfurt 0.30%. The US lists, on the other hand, show a different behavior with the Dow Jones marking + 0.10% and the Nasdaq advancing by more than half a point. Political tensions over Di Maio's resignation from the role of political leader of the M5S created nervousness on the government bond segment, where the btp / bund spread increased to 170 basis points and then closed at 165 points with the performance of our decennial at 1 and 35%. All of this caused a surge in bank securities sales that weighed down the balance sheet. Euro stable against dollar slightly below 1 and 11.
