(ANSA) - MILAN, NOV 30 - Opening in sharp decline for European stock exchanges which return to discount the uncertainty linked to the Omicron variant of the coronavirus and the concern that it could slow down the economic recovery.
At Piazza Affari the Ftse Mib index has started trading down by 1.46%, to 25,661 points, in London the Ftse 100 index drops 1.04% to 7,035 points, in Frankfurt the Dax loses 1, 07% at 15,117 points while in Paris the Cac 40 drops by 1.43% to 6,679 points.
The negative start of the European stock exchanges follows the red closing of the Asian ones.
A trend conditioned by the words of the CEO of Moderna, Stéphane Bancel, who told Financial Times he expected a "substantial decline" in the effectiveness of the old vaccines against the new variant and the need for a few months before being able to start a large-scale production of new vaccines .
