(ANSA) - Milan, March 11 - The Milan stock exchange closed
down 0,82% Monday in spite of the limited reaction to Fitch's
downgrading last Friday, infecting Madrid which lost 0,95%.
Concerns over Italy, as well as weak economic data from
China, toned down the optimism generated last week across Europe
by US payroll data.

from A-minus.
The spread between 10-year Italian bonds and safer German
bonds increased to 320 basis points.The Paris Cac 40 index fell by 0,10% to 3.836, 27 points while in Frankfurt the Dax exchange lost -0,03% to 7,984,29 points.
London defied the European trend. The FTSE-100 went up 0,31% to 6.503, 63 points.
