At the opening, the Milan Stock Exchange shows an increase of 0.46%, with the Ftse Mib index reaching 34,095 points. Among the best performing stocks are:
In conjunction with the stock market trend, the bond market shows a narrowing of the spread between BTPs and German Bunds, which stands at 131.4 points compared to 132.7 at the previous close.

The coming weeks could prove crucial for the future of financial markets.
