Why It Matters
European stock markets operate in a context of waiting for geopolitical developments and mixed signals from US markets, despite good PMI data.
European stock markets slowed down and some went down, despite the good signals coming from the PMI indices. The mixed Wall Street futures weigh more. On a day of waiting for the Chinese Prime Minister's visit to Washington, we are still looking at energy. The decline in oil has stopped and Brent is now rising slightly while the prospects of the conflict in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz continue to remain unclear. Gas prices also move around parity. Meanwhile, the euro weakens against the dollar and is trading at 1.14. Government bond yields are rising slightly and with them the spread between BTPs and Bunds.
Frankfurt lost 0.33%, London recorded +0.11%, Paris +0.05%. In Milan (+0.17%) only Amplifon, Banco Bpm and Avio recorded growth above 1%. Pirelli (+0.33%) is little moved by the investment plan in the USA and by the strengthening of Marco Tronchetti Provera in the capital.
In Amsterdam, however, Exor stands out (+1.9%) for the new 500 million buyback.
