The courses at the exchanges keep falling. On the trading floor, some are reminiscent of “Black Monday” in 1987, and investors are looking for historical parallels to the first stock price crash after the Second World War. In addition, fears of a euro sovereign debt crisis are reviving because Giorgia Meloni, a right-wing populist politician, is coming to power in Italy – the reliable Prime Minister Mario Draghi is history.
