Listen to the audio version of the article
(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) – The crisis in the Middle East and fears of US interest rates being elevated for longer than expected are fueling uncertainty and nervousness on the stock markets. European stock markets fell sharply in a session dominated by concerns over Israel’s response to last weekend’s Iranian attack, despite allies calling for calm. Doubts about the next moves of the central banks, in particular those of the Federal Reserve, also remain to weigh on the lists, which pushed the yield on US Treasury securities to the highest levels of 2024, with that of the 10-year bond rising by more than 10 basis points above the 4.6%. In Italy, Istat slightly revised the March inflation figure downwards (+1.2% from a preliminary +1.3%), while in Germany the Zew index beat expectations, rising to 42.9 in April points from 31.7 in March.
In this scenario, the main stock exchanges of the Old Continent are moving downwards: the FTSE MIB of Milan, the CAC 40 of Paris, the DAX 30 of Frankfurt, the IBEX 35 of Madrid, the AEX of Amsterdam and the FT-SE 100 from London.
