The Milan Stock Exchange slows down with Europe on US inflation. The Ftse Mib index ended down by 1.03% at 31,134 points, the Ftse All share down 1.02% to 33,257.

Piazza Affari moved in line with the other stock markets of the Old Continent, weighed down above all by disappointment from the slowdown in US inflation below expectations. Government bonds, however, were calm: the spread between BTPs and 10-year German Bunds closed the session on the electronic markets at 154 basis points.
