European stock markets nervous, dollar weakness continues

European stock markets recover in the final after a session marked by nervousness and uncertainty. Milan at -0.26%, Frankfurt and Paris also slightly contracting while the best remains London, which passes just above parity.

Among the sectors on Piazza Affari, defense and oil performed well, after OPEC's decision to increase production targets less than expected, which pushed prices up. The auto sector, on the other hand, performed poorly after Trump's announcement of his intention to double duties on steel and aluminum.

A minus sign, as we were saying, also on Wall Street, still nervous about the president's positions and words, especially towards China, accused of not having respected the agreements reached in Switzerland to freeze duties.

A tension that also weighs on the currency markets, with the dollar continuing to depreciate against the euro. The single European currency is trading above 1.1430 dollars.
