The Conte government sends the spread into a tailspin and sinks banks and the stock exchange

The unresolved uncertainties of the nascent Lega-Five Star government send banks and the stock exchange to small scale and make the spread and yields of the BTP soar – Parallel collapse of the Madrid stock exchange due to the explosion of the political crisis – Industry and fashion against the tide at Piazza Affari: from Moncler to Stm and from Leonardo to Pirelli

Heavy sitting for Piazza Affari which leaves 1,54%% on the field, reaching 22.398 points, with banks in free fall. The rise in the sector weighs spread, 206.30 points after touching an intraday high of 215 points, and the shadow of the flat tax envisaged in the Lega-5 Stelle government contract, which could have a negative impact on the capital of some credit institutions. The yield on the 10-year BTP rises to 2,47%, with investor confidence undermined by a government that is perceived as anti-euro.

The prime minister in charge, Giuseppe Conte, has not yet presented the list of ministers for appointment by the President of the Republic, but has risen tothe Quirinale for an informal meeting. The puzzle of the economy remains, while Paolo Savona claims that there are vetoes on his name.

Political tensions are also sinking Madrid, -1,7%, and they pour on the Bonos who see the differential with the German ten-year increase by 11,92% (104.20 points). At the origin there is the government crisis with the conviction for corruption of the Partido Popular, the call for early elections by Ciudadanos, main ally of conservative premier Mariano Rajoy and the imminent presentation of a no-confidence motion by the PSOE.
