Difficult start to the week for the Stock Exchange stock Monte dei Paschi di Siena, which dropped more than four percentage points in early trading, before retracing slightly in mid-morning to -3,2% (0,8245). However, this is the worst fall of the Ftse Mib. Stcaccording to many analysts, MPS is among the institutions that risk the most in sight of next Sunday's Aqr/stress test results.
The wave of sales on the Sienese institute's shares comes after the +4,3% recorded on Friday, when Consob had banned short selling on the stock for the whole day.
Today we return to the normal trading regime and – according to what emerges from Consob communications – Odey Asset Management has opened a new net short position on Banca Mps.
