Incipit of the second half with a plus sign for Piazza Affari. The Ftse Mib closed at 25,286 points, up by 0.73%. Oil stocks did well today: ENI rose 1.85% to € 10.46, better than Tenaris (+ 1.91%) and Saipem (+ 2.06%). A new surge in the price of oil on the day of the OPEC + meeting, which would have reached a compromise to increase production in the coming months of the year, gave impetus to the oil sector.
Banks very well: + 2.51% Unicredit and + 1.12% Intesa Sanpaolo with Christine Lagarde, ECB president, who hinted that the dividend limitations for banks will be removed from October.
Buy today on STM (+ 0.47%) which announced the launch of a buyback plan of up to $ 1.04 billion to be implemented over the next 3 years. The minimum price paid will be € 1.04, a price much lower than the current market value of over € 30.
A positive day also for Leonardo (+ 2.32%) who, according to what reported by La Repubblica, would have signed an agreement with Tinexta to offer the market a solution to defend companies from cyber attacks.
