Further acceleration to the downside for Piazza Affari. The Ftse Mib index currently marks -1.66% at 27.203 points. To weigh is the announcement of Austria that it will enter into national lockdown from next Monday and Germany could follow it with a similar move in light of the record covid infections (65 thousand yesterday). New blocks that inevitably risk acting as a brake on economic growth in the last part of 2021.
In Milan, the strong declines of the banks stand out, the sector most sensitive to the risk of a sharp slowdown in the economy. Unicredit scores -5%, worst performer of the entire Ftse Mib, -4.1% Intesa Sanpaolo and -3.5% Bper. Among the big companies, Stellantis also lost almost 4%. A 4.3% thud for Leonardo with rumors about the government’s possible plan to unite the Defense group with Fincantieri.
In the red also for ENI (-2%) which had started at over + 2% in the wake of the double upgrade decided by Barclays with judgment passed to overweight with tp at 16 euros.
