On a positive day on the stock exchange for banks, the Monte dei Paschi, which first opens sharply down (-5%), then recovers temporarily also thanks to Mediobanca Securites: the Sienese institution, according to a note from the broker, will pass the overall exam of the ECB (summary of Aqr and stress test) , with a deficit of around 100 million euros, which can be managed "with the planned reduction of risk-weighted assets (RWA)".
But then in the afternoon the Tuscan bank resumed its negative trend and was the worst stock in the Ftse Mib, losing 3,6% to 0,821. Mps has meanwhile intervened by announcing, with an official press release, that the speculation on the stock "is not reflected in the partial and in any case preliminary documentation that the Bank has received to date". Monte dei Paschi also points out that "the Comprehensive Assessment is still currently in progress and that any data relating to it can only be partial and preliminary".
