European stock markets close higher, driven by energy price drops

Quick Look

  • European stock markets closed higher, with Madrid, Paris, Frankfurt, and Milan reaching new historical highs.
  • Declining oil and gas prices, fueled by expectations of a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, boosted bonds and government securities, easing concerns about interest rate hikes.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

European stock markets are trading higher in the latter part of the session, with major indices reaching new historical highs. This rally is attributed to falling energy prices and positive corporate news.

Borse europee in spolvero nell'ultima parte della seduta, con i listini sui massimi di giornata: Madrid avanza del 2,1%, Parigi dell'1,8%, Francoforte dell'1,7% e Milano dell'1,3%, su nuovi massimi storici, mentre Londra e New York sono chiuse per festività.

Le scommesse per una riapertura dello Stretto di Hormuz fanno scendere il costo di gas e petrolio e spingono obbligazioni e titoli di Stato, che confidano in una riduzione del costo dell'energia che disinneschi il pericolo di un rialzo dei tassi di interesse.

Il petrolio cede oltre 5 punti percentuali, con il Wti a 91,4 dollari al barile e il Brent a 98,2 dollari, e il gas arretra del 6.7% a 45,4 euro al megawattora. Avanzano invece i bond, con i rendimenti dei Btp in calo di 12 punti base, al 3,64%, mentre lo spread con il Bund si restringe a quota 71.

A Piazza Affari continua il momento d'oro di Avio (+6,9%), seguita da Nexi (+6,5%), messa in moto dall'annuncio di Cdp di volere salire al 29,9% del capitale, e da Amplifon (+6,3%), spinta dalla promozione da parte di Kepler Cheuvreux. Corrono anche Diasorin (+4%), Buzzi (+3,5%) e Unicredit (+3,1%) mentre scivola Eni (-1,5%) in scia al prezzo del petrolio, seguita da Tenaris (-0,3%), Stm (-0,2%) e Leonardo (-0,2%).
