From forecasts we have moved on to data showing the damage already caused by Covid-19 to world economies. But markets are already looking forward to reopening. So the European stock exchanges, also supported by the start of the rise in Wall Street, ended the week with the plus sign. London rose 2.41%, higher up Frankfurt (+ 2.87%) and Paris (+ 3.06%). Milan, while falling from the day's highs, gained 1.71% overcoming the psychological threshold of 17 thousand points. However, during the week, Piazza Affari left 3.21% on the ground. Atlantia (+ 7.80%) is well on the list in Piazza Affari, which today brings together the Board of Directors. The decline in oil continues to return to its 18-year low. The barrel of the Wti is worth just over $ 18, 70% less since the beginning of the year. On the government bond market, the spread with German Bunds narrowed to 229 basis points, from 235 yesterday, while the 10-year BTP yield was 1.82%.
