Peace in sight, the stock exchanges take flight

The agreement with Greece can already be reached tomorrow within the Eurogroup. The prediction is by Matteo Renzi. François Hollande was more cautious, having "lent" Alexis Tsipras the technicians to fine-tune the plan (no more baby pensions, VAT reform, taxes on the oligarchs) presented yesterday in Brussels.

 The Stock Exchanges, however, have already decided: in Milan the Ftse Mib index comes close to 3% (2,96% at 13.26pm) at 22.928. The government bond market is even more tonic: the spread slips to 122 points (against 165 on Monday). The 2,09-year yield is XNUMX%.
