August 26, 2021 The terrorist explosion in Kabul darkened the mood of investors, who had also celebrated the data on the American GDP in the second quarter with purchases on the shares in the opening of trading in New York (Dow Jones -0.21 % and Nasdaq -0.42% at 17.30 Italian time). But then the pessimism that also infected the European price lists returned to prevail. Milan closed at -0.76%. Frankfurt lost about half a point. London and Paris contained losses to -0.27% and -0.16%. Sales also thickened on our government bonds: the 10-year yield rose to 0.69%, bringing the spread with the bund to 109 basis points. The price of gold is on the rise and returns to approaching 1800 dollars an ounce. Euro against dollar at 1.17 and 50.
