New closing in red, even if far from the intraday lows for the Piazza Affari list. After yesterday’s purchases, the directionality in today’s session is attributable to the words spoken by the CEO of Moderna, Stephane Bancel, during an interview with the Financial Times: vaccines could be punctured by the new variant and to have a drug capable of blocking even the new version may take several months.
On the day Eurostat announced that the Euroland inflation rate rose to 4.9% in November, the Ftse Mib closed the session down 0.87% to 25,814.34 points.
