Iran – Israel, live news | A pro-Iranian base in Iraq bombed: one dead, numerous injured

Stock market: fears about the Middle East crisis ease, Milan recovers to -0.2 in the mid-session

Tensions on European markets are easing after an initial phase of shock due to fears of a possible escalation of the crisis in the Middle East following Israel’s attack on Iran. During the morning, in fact, the stock exchanges of the Old Continent gradually reduced their losses, especially when it emerged that Tehran, now dealing with an “investigation” into what happened, was not planning an immediate reaction. According to CNN, direct Israel-Iran attacks may be over. The Euro Stoxx 600 index initially reached one-month lows and then recovered ground, but without particular conviction. Towards the middle of the session in Piazza Affari, the Ftse Mib, which had lost over 1%, limited its losses to 0.2%. Similar trend in Paris (-0.3%), London (-0.5%), Madrid (-0.4%) and Frankfurt (-0.7%). Wall Street futures are negative, with Netflix dropping 7% in the pre-market despite the accounts being above expectations. In any case, uncertainties remain over a conflict that could destabilize the entire region (as evidenced by the “blaze” of oil prices at +4% which then died out as the hours passed).
