FTSE MIB Extends Losses
The FTSE MIB fell to around 43,500 on Friday, extending losses from the previous session, as President Trump’s announcement of a deadline extension for Iran failed to lift sentiment. He said he would delay planned strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure for another 10 days, extending the pause until April 6 to give negotiators more time to reach an agreement. Despite the temporary stand-down, oil prices continued to rise, driving inflation fears. Across the bourse, laggards included Leonardo (-1.4%), STMicroelectronics (-2.3%), and Prysmian (-0.9%). Heavyweight financials were also mostly in the red, as stagflation concerns lifted bond yields and widened the BTP-Bund spread sharply. For the week, the index is heading for a gain of over 1%.
