End of the week growing for the stock exchanges, in Europe, but also in Asia and the United States. The Milan Ftse Mib index rose by 0.78%, bringing the weekly balance to + 1.65%. Piazza Affari is a little better than Frankfurt and Paris + 0.60%, and London, +0.30. Also on Wall Street is in positive territory, Dow Jones + 0.60%. Yesterday, the index closed with the largest rise since July. Today, as yesterday, the quarterly accounts weigh positively above the expectations of American banks: today it was the turn of Goldman Sachs, whose net profit jumped 63% in the third quarter to 5.28 billion dollars, much above expectations. Retail sales in the United States also exceeded expectations: + 0.7% in September compared to August; analysts had expected a drop of 0.2%. Bad news for consumers,instead, from the price of oil: the Brent in the North Sea continues to rise and is now close to $ 85 per barrel.
