MPS closes in a sprint, Moncler down in the wake of LVMH
The banking sector is highlighted in Piazza Affari. In particular, Banca Mps shines at the end of the session after the acquittal also in the Supreme Court for the former president of the institute, Giuseppe Mussari, and the former general director, Antonio Vigni. In a Europe “ballasted” by the big luxury goods industry, which drags down the entire European sector, Moncler was among the worst on the Ftse Mib, even losing more than 4 points, after Lvmh (-6.5% Paris) announced a slowdown in sales in the third quarter. The French giant’s turnover grew by 1% (+9% at constant exchange rates and scope) after months of double-digit progress. Sales also on Diasorin, in a European pharma sector that is looking to the success of an anti-diabetes drug from Novo Nordisk (+4.9% in Copenhagen) also for the treatment of renal failure. Stellantis is on the rise after the announcement of the second gigafactory which will be built in the USA as part of the jv with Samsung. Iveco Group, Banca Pop Er and Saipem also performed well. On the opposite front, sales on Davide Campari, Inwit and Cnh Industrial.

Compared to a year earlier, prices increased by 2.2%, against expectations for +1.6%, after 2% in the previous month. For the ‘core’ data, an increase of 2.8%, after the 2.9% of the previous two months.
