MILAN – 9:30. The unknown on the reopening of the Chinese Squares is resolved with a slight drop, but to step into the shoes of the protagonist in the opening of the markets week is the Tokyo Stock Exchange , which reported a record result (+ 7.16%) and a number of great deeds, from Nomura to Panasonic, rising in double figures. A good omen for the European markets, which deal positive: Milan sale of 3.25% with banks protagonists and returns above 17 thousand points. London grew by 1.6%, Paris 2.25% and Frankfurt 2.15%.

The US stock market is recovering from the second consecutive week of declines, but the Friday sitting had been positive with the Dow Jones up by 2%.

to explain the rally was also the recovery of the oil, which today is moving down slightly in Asian markets , while Iran prepares to make the first deliveries to European customers after the removal of sanctions.
