Stock market roller coaster: the Syrian stalemate stops the race in the wake of US data

Milan cuts earnings and Paris, London and Frankfurt even slip below zero - After the good start in the afternoon driven by positive data on US unemployment, Putin's statements on the no-agreement for Syria knock down the stock markets - Enel and Ansaldo Energia do well, returning up with Cdp interested in input

False start in the afternoon of the European stock exchanges, initially intoxicated by the positive data on unemployment arriving from the United States. A statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who decreed the stalemate on the delicate Syrian issue, was enough to bring them back down.

Around 17, thirty minutes before closing, Piazza Affari stands at a more modest +0,40%, when at 15 it was sailing towards +1,4%. Best increase confirmed for Enel (+4%), in the wake of the positive evaluations of Ubs, and for Ansaldo Sts (+2,67%), which instead at 15 pm was one of the worst decreases. The roller coaster is due to the risk of the reorganization of Finmeccanica, ready to sell Ansaldo Energia to the South Koreans. A few minutes ago Franco Bassanini, president of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, made a statement, expressing interest in joining the energy company 55% controlled by the Italian defense giant. On the other hand, Autogrill (-1,96%), Ferragamo (-1,90%) and Telecom Italia (-1,81%) did badly.

Frankfurt loses 0,32%, Paris 0,11%, London 0,29%.

Wall Street was also below zero, which started off well: Dow Jones scores -0,62%, while the Nasdaq drops 0,36%.
