17 September 2021 The last session of the week for the European stock exchanges ended in a

downward trend

.

On the day of the so-called four witches - in which different maturities of stocks, bonds and futures coincide - the markets reacted badly to the inflation figure of the Eurozone: 3% in August (compared to 2.2% in July).



Milan closed at -0.98% (and ended the week overall with a drop of about three quarters of a point).

London was also down at -1.19%, Frankfurt at -1.03% and Paris at -0.79%.

Only the Madrid stock exchange is saved at + 0.40%.



Overseas, investors are already looking forward to next Wednesday's Federal Reserve meeting. Wall Street proceeds down with the Dow Jones losing more than half a point and the Nasdaq one percentage point. On the New York Stock Exchange, mining stocks and more generally commodities suffer.



Overall, the week closed in the red for all lists, both American and European.
