The Milan Stock Exchange grabbed the rise at the end of the session (FTSE MIB +0.12%, 33,922 points), while awaiting S&P's rating on Italy and after a day marked once again by fears of an escalation in the Middle East.
Fears then subsided with Iran which downplayed the Israeli reaction to the recent launch of missiles and drones by Tehran.
Utilities are showing momentum with Terna in the lead (+2.2%) at the end of the roadshow in the United States. A decisive step also for Enel (+1.41%) and A2a (+1.38%).
Among the stocks under the microscope, Tim gains 1.28% ahead of the meeting next week and while KKR has notified the Netco operation to the European Antitrust. Diasorin (+1.79%), Fineco (+1.4%) and Unipol (+1.35%) also performed well and will close their takeover bid on Unipolsai next Friday, barring extensions.
Sales instead on StM (-2.29%); Saipem (-2.1%), Iveco (-1.51%).
