The first sign of stability and trust in democratic institutions came last night from Wall Street. Mostly positive indices with the focus on incoming President Joe Biden's economic policies. Similar situation in Asia where Tokyo gained 1.60%. More modest hikes in Europe which yesterday celebrated its democratic victory in Georgia. Milan is just below par (-0.11%), while London, Frankfurt and Paris are up by a few decimal points. On the Piazza Affari list, Buzzi Unicem's race continues (+ 2.37%) on infrastructure development expectations in the US, while reversing the course after yesterday's strong Unicredit earnings (-1.07%). On the raw materials front, oil continues to grow. The North Sea Brent at 54.56 dollars a barrel returns to its highest levels since last February.
