(see related) The Milan stock
exchange regained some of the massive losses sustained on
Thursday in early trading on Friday, with the FTSE MIB index
climbing 3.06% despite disappointing GDP data for the final
quarter of 2015.
The rises were led by bank stocks, which have been pounded
particularly hard in this week's market turbulence.
Unicredit rose 7.9%, while Banco Popolare (5%) and Intesa
Sanpaolo (4.8%) also gaining ground.
