The Milan stock exchange was the
best performer among Europe's big financial markets in early
trading on Monday, with the FTSE Mib index up 2.1% to 21,807
points.
The rises were driven by bank stocks with investors no longer
fearing the end of the European Central Bank's quantitative
easing programme.
The spread between Italy's 10-year BTP bond and the German
Bund was down to 246 basis points, with the yield on the Italian
bond at 2.93%, after closing at 268 points on Friday.
