It’s really a black Monday that the world stock markets. The origin of sales, once again, the collapse of Shanghai. The Chinese stock index lost 8.45% today, after falling 11% last week. Markets have traveled in heavy downward all day and worsened after the opening of Wall Street heavy – Milan came to yield more than 7% – before recovering from the lows. The FTSE MIB index closed at a loss of 5.96% to 20,450 points, lowest level since mid-February (Go video analysis on Black Monday and the panic selling on the Milan Stock Exchange). Days as dramatic for the index in Milan not seen from November 2011, in the midst of fear for the risk Italy.

Fiat Chrysler down by 7.7%. On the currency market, the euro jumped back at the highest since January against the dollar: 1.1586 marks the change in closure of continental squares after touching even 1.17 (1.1386 Friday ‘). Oil slips again and is trading at $ 38.9 per barrel, lows last six and half years ago.

So does Madrid, which now moves back 5% while Paris and Lisbon (respectively -5.3% and -5.8%) still retain a net year to date increased slightly.

The panic selling linked to yet another thud of the Shanghai Composite (down 8.5%) is failing with some investors taking advantage of the sharp declines to take sides with the “short squeeze” in progress (traders who bet on a decline in price lists close at least part of their positions). Some believe that the US economy remains robust and that is not threatened by the slowdown in the Chinese economy so feared. Others are convinced that the tensions seen in the markets, the Federal Reserve next month will not begin to raise interest rates as is the majority of stock traders predicted earlier this month.

The thud of Tokyo is the worst since June 2013 and the following – cumulative 5.3% last week.
