12 January 2021 European stock exchanges restart up, after yesterday's declines.
Opening the Ftse Mib in Milan marks + 0.38%.
January is a month so far without too many shocks, + 2.4% the budget so far.
In the rest of Europe, Frankfurt + 0.42%, London + 0.21%.
Waiting for the council of ministers this evening, the spread widens by 4 points, from 105 to 109 basis points, with the yield of the ten-year BTP at 0.60%.
The stock exchanges paid for yesterday's weakness on Wall Street, where the Nasdaq of tech stocks fell 1.25%.
Leading the decline were Twitter and Facebook.
Having suspended the account of Donald Trump, that is the person who with his tweets made the most talk about this social network meant a 6.4% drop in the stock for Twitter.
The same goes for Facebook: -4% after suspending Trump's profile.
And after the criticisms of this decision from leaders such as Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron came.
Google and Apple also went down, in this case after removing the social network Parler, one of the most used by Trump supporters, from their stores.
Down also Amazon, which yesterday disabled the servers hosting Parler.
In Asia, mixed trends overnight: the Shanghai (+ 2.18%) and Hong Kong (+ 1.30%) indices were positive, while Seoul (-0.7%) was bad and Tokyo was almost unchanged.
Among the stocks, the highest rises for Azimut (+ 3.96%) and Banca Mediolanum (+ 3.18%).
Greater discounts for Terna (-0.77%) and Prysmian (-2.82%).
