The energy shortage in China had caused European stock exchanges to start badly. Then in the afternoon the bad news came from the United States and the sales came in abundance.

So Milan closed down 2.14%, in line with Frankfurt and Paris, while only London managed to limit losses to half a percentage point. Oil ups and downs on the commodity market. Brent from the North Sea, after exceeding 80 dollars a barrel, the highest in the last 3 years, fell to 78 at the end of the European markets.
