Milan 30 September 2020 From 4 Italian time, that is, from the end of the debate between Trump and Biden, the futures that anticipate the opening of Wall Street have begun to decline, passing to the minus sign (-0.6%).


According to some observers, this could be linked to the risk of a contested outcome of the vote.

During the debate, Trump called the postal voting procedures "a scam like you've never seen it before" and added that it could take months to know the outcome of the elections.


Wall Street closed down yesterday as well, ending the streak of three positive sessions.

The September balance is largely negative.

The three major US indices fell between 3.5 percent on the Dow Jones and 5.8 percent on the Nasdaq.


In Europe, Milan opened with a 0.7% drop, after yesterday's -0.52%, but the Ftse Mib index subsequently recovered: + 0.1% at 9.35am.

Unchanged Frankfurt and Paris, + 0.4% for London. 


The bearish trend, which was also affected by the drop in oil, fell by 3% yesterday, with the North Sea Brent at just over $ 40 and a half a barrel.



Among the stock exchanges in Asia and Oceania during the night those of Tokyo and Sydney fell.

On the other hand, Shanghai and Hong Kong did well, because good data on orders and expectations of manufacturing in September arrived from China.



In Piazza Affari, the stock of Bper Banca was highlighted (-1.79%).

A note from the company this morning announced that in order to buy the branches from Intesa San Paolo and Ubi - an operation that is part of the merger between the latter two banks - the board of directors has approved a capital increase of 802 million euros.
