Stock market: Europe improves, oil slows down and government bonds in tension

The session on the stock exchanges in Europe continues to decline after the mixed start on Wall Street, dragged down by a new wave of sales in the semiconductor sector. London loses 0.56%, Paris 0.79%, Frankfurt 0.64%, Milan limits the decline to 0.6% and Madrid is on the rise.

Meanwhile, government bonds remain in tension: in France the spread with the 10-year Bund is at a record level of 153.7 points, that between BTPs and Bunds at 114.3 points. Crude oil slows down (WTI +0.9% to 104.5 dollars and Brent -0.19% to 109.4 dollars) while natural gas slows down, falling by 01.58% to 86.67 euros per megawatt hour.
