Il Fatto Quotidiano: Il discorso di Trump affossa le borse: i mercati europei aprono in rosso, il petrolio sale oltre i 105 dollari al barile

Il crollo dei listini asiatici, l’apertura in rosso di tutte le Borse europee e il petrolio che schizza del 4% a oltre 105 dollari al barile. Sono gli effetti sui mercati del discorso alla nazione del presidente Usa, Donald Trump. Le sue parole, in particolare sulla guerra in Iran, hanno scatenato l’incertezza e non sono riuscite a rassicurare i mercati globali. Al contrario, hanno riacceso i timori per una escalation delle tensioni internazionali.
Le borse asiatiche sono sprofondate dopo il discorso di Trump. In particolare Seul, con l’indice generale in calo del 4,47% in chiusura, mentre il Nikkei di Tokyo ha concluso la seduta di contrattazioni cedendo il 2,40%. Chiude in calo anche la borsa di Sidney che perde un punto percentuale. In ribasso, infine, anche tutti i listini cinesi, da Shanghai a Hong Kong.
In questo contesto, le principali Borse europee hanno tutte aperto in rosso. Al momento, a registrare la performance peggiore è Francoforte: l’indice Dax cede l’1,49%. Male anche Parigi, lievemente più limitate le perdite per Londra. Piazza Affari nei primi scambi conferma la partenza negativa con l’indice Ftse Mib che scende dell’1,2%, sostanzialmente in linea con il listino francese. A Milano, tra i titoli a elevata capitalizzazione il peggiore è Avio che scende del 4%, seguito da Stm in ribasso del 3,5%. Male anche le banche, mentre Eni corre del 3% anche sul rialzo del prezzo del petrolio.
Che è l’altro effetto del discorso di Trump. Il Brent, il riferimento internazionale del greggio, è balzato del 4,9% a 106,16 dollari al barile. Pesa in particolare il fatto che il presidente Usa nel suo discorso non abbia menzionato l’imminente scadenza che aveva fissato per l’Iran per la riapertura dello Stretto di Hormuz, la via navigabile cruciale per il trasporto globale di petrolio e gas, dopo aver minacciato in precedenza l’Iran di attacchi statunitensi contro le sue infrastrutture energetiche se lo stretto non fosse stato riaperto. In calo i prezzi dell’oro e dell’argento. L’oro ha perso il 2%, attestandosi a 4.718,70 dollari l’oncia, mentre l’argento ha ceduto il 4,9%, scendendo a 72,39 dollari l’oncia.

Trump’s speech sends stocks tumbling: European markets open in the red, oil rises above $105 per barrel.

The collapse of Asian markets, the opening in the red of all European exchanges, and oil soaring by 4% to over $105 per barrel. These are the effects on markets of President Trump’s address to the nation. His words, particularly on the war in Iran, unleashed uncertainty and failed to reassure global markets. Instead, they reignited fears of an escalation of international tensions.

Asian markets plunged after Trump’s speech. Particularly Seoul, with the overall index down 4.47% at close, while the Nikkei in Tokyo ended the trading session down 2.40%. Sydney’s stock exchange also closed down, losing one percent. Finally, all Chinese exchanges, from Shanghai to Hong Kong, were also down.

In this context, the main European exchanges all opened in the red. Currently, Frankfurt is registering the worst performance: the Dax index is down 1.49%. Paris is also weak, with losses slightly more limited for London. Piazza Affari in the first exchanges confirms the negative start with the Ftse Mib index down 1.2%, essentially in line with the French listing. In Milan, among the large capitalization titles, the worst is Avio, down 4%, followed by Stm down 3.5%. Banks are also weak, while Eni is up 3% even on the rise in oil prices.

Which is the other effect of Trump’s speech. Brent, the international benchmark for crude oil, jumped 4.9% to $106.16 per barrel. The fact that President Trump did not mention the imminent expiration that he had set for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the crucial navigable waterway for global transport of oil and gas, after previously threatening Iran with U.S. attacks against its energy infrastructure if the strait were not reopened, weighs in particular. Prices of gold and silver fell. Gold lost 2%, standing at $4,718.70 per ounce, while silver fell 4.9%, down to $72.39 per ounce.

RaiNews: Il prezzo del petrolio si stabilizza, borse europee in lieve salita

Si sta stabilizzando anche il prezzo del gas: è quotato 50,9 euro al megawattora, meno 1 per cento. A contribuire ai ribassi l'accordo tra il governo iracheno e il governo regionale del Kurdistan Iracheno per riprendere le esportazioni di petrolio

The price of oil stabilizes, European stock markets up slightly.

The price of gas is also stabilizing: it is quoted at €50.9 per megawatt-hour, down one percent. The agreement between the Iraqi government and the regional government of Iraqi Kurdistan to resume oil exports is also contributing to the declines.

“Just the sheer animosity and the insane amount o finance and whatnot that went into trying to stop this one guy who likes:
universal child care
free buses
He’s a mayor - no foreign policy in anyway for like a mayor”

“Brad Lander is a liberal Zionist. The fact that Brad Lander campaigned with him during the primary is the reason he won the primary.”

“We cannot discount the fact that liberal Zionism is the mainstream position in America, if not far-right Zionism. So the fact that he was like, I'm pro-Palestinian, but lots of liberal Zionists literally campaigned for him. And like celebrities and stuff, that disarmed that community in some way.
And I actually just read on Bluesky, there's this, an Israeli professor who's based in California, who I follow, he works on taxation policy. That's irrelevant to this point, but he was like, I just had to have a conversation with my family back in Israel, how I would prefer an anti-Zionist one to a sexual predator for mayor. And it's like, you're forcing them to make that choice, and you're winning as a result, instead of, you know, what is it that some of the pro-Palestinian left is doing right now”
