(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) – First session of the week positive for the European stock exchanges, which continue on the path taken in the previous eighth. The outcome of the German elections, substantially in line with forecasts on the eve, does not affect the positive mood of the investors, who in order to understand who will govern in Berlin await the outcome of the negotiations between the parties, which will probably not end before the end of year. Thus the indices of the Old Continent are all positive, with the DAX 40 in Frankfurt in the front row, with an increase of up to one percentage point. Also doing well were the FTSE MIB in Milan, the CAC 40 in Paris, the IBEX 35 in Madrid, the Ftse 100 in London and the AEX in Amsterdam.
Investors also welcome the absence of new bad news on the Evergrande front, while keeping the focus on Beijing’s moves, where the regulatory squeeze imposed by the executive on numerous economic sectors could extend to the financial sector. All this as the oil price rally continues on the prospect that the current level of crude oil output will struggle to meet growing energy demand.
In light Diasorin, A2a lags behind
