Milan 01 July 2021 The manufacturing PMI index in Europe hit a new record in June and investors took this indication as a stimulus for purchases in the equity segment.

All the stock exchanges of the Old Continent benefited from it and closed in progress, albeit in no particular order.

The situation is different for Wall Street, which is mixed (Dow Jones + 0.21% and Nasdaq -0.36% at 17.30 Italian time).



In Europe the best list was that of London, which gained 1 and 26%. Milan recorded + 0.73%, in line with the performance of Paris, + 0.71%, while Frankfurt appreciated by 0.47%. At Piazza Affari, purchases have rewarded energy, driven by the rise in the price of crude oil, with Brent and WTI over $ 75 a barrel. Banks also did well on the prospect of a return to ex-dividend from September onwards.



The spread is at 100 basis points with our ten-year yield at 0.81%. Euro against dollar at 1.18 and 65.
