_"(MF-DJ)--Sta per ripartire il grande risiko bancario? Secondo la Reuters parrebbe di si''. L''agenzia di stampa cita alcune fonti vicine al dossier secondo cui il Tesoro, azionista del Montepaschi con il 64,2%, sta studiando una potenziale aggregazione tra l''istituto senese, e Banco Bpm come opzione per riportare in mani private il gruppo guidato da Luigi Lovaglio. Sul tavolo del Mef ci sarebbe due opzioni: un''aggregazione con Piazza Meda oppure con Unicredit, con cui Via XX Settembre aveva gia'' provato un''aggregazione nel secondo semestre del 2021, trattative che avevano portato a un nulla di fatto. L''uscita del Mef dal capitale di Rocca Salimbeni e'' conseguente agli accordi presi con la Dg Comp nel 2017 a seguito della ricapitalizzazione precauzionale del gruppo toscano. Un''uscita per cui non e'' stata fissata una timeline ma soltanto il limite temporale del 2024, scelta per dare maggiore potere contrattuale al Tesoro con la potenziale controparte. Proprio il fallimento dell''accordo con l''istituto guidato da Andrea Orcel avrebbe reso diffidente chi nel nuovo governo a guida Giorgia Meloni sta lavorando al dossier. E cosi'', secondo le fonti, nel governo si guarda ora a Banco Bpm come possibile alternativa, tanto che al Tesoro hanno gia'' iniziato a studiare la fattibilita'' dell''operazione. "_

Inwit (INW.MI) ha chiuso il terzo trimestre con una crescita dell'utile netto del 37,3% a 75 milioni di euro e ha confermato le stime sul 2022. L'operatore di infrastrutture wireless ha attualmente un approccio cauto nell'M&A, ha detto il Dg Diego Galli nel corso della conference call sui risultati trimestrali.

Inwit: cda nomina Cicchetti presidente e Galli dg

INWIT (INW.MI) Dopo il fallimento della ricerca di un AD, già oggi potrebbe riunirsi il nuovo Cda per valutare la nomina di un direttore generale, riferiscono fonti vicine alla vicenda. Tra i candidati DG ci sarebbe il Cfo Diego Galli.

La Banca Centrale Europea ha approvato, per gli aspetti di competenza, l''operazione di rafforzamento di capitale di B.Mps che verra'' sottoposta all''assemblea il prossimo 15 settembre. L''approvazione si aggiunge al completamento dell''iter autorizzativo da parte di Dg Competition, come dalla stessa autorita'' comunicato nelle settimane precedenti.

Thursday, August 26, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 8.00 0.02% 35,368 S&P 500 -4.25 0.09% 4,489 Nasdaq -30.50 0.20% 15,334 Another day, and another record high for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite on Wednesday, but overnight futures paint a mixed picture amid a retreat in technology shares and caution ahead of a Federal Reserve gathering that may provide more clues about its approach to paring stimulus. With few negative catalysts to dampen the risk-on sentiment, all three major U.S. indexes crept modestly higher on Tuesday. The S&P 500 was able to notch its 51st record close of the year and the Nasdaq its 30th record closing highs for 2021. With the gains, the SPX and Nasdaq have now both risen 5-straight days (the Dow is on a 4-day win streak) – but volume on U.S. exchanges was just 8.29 billion shares, making it one of the slowest trading days of the year. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index rose 17 points to 27,742, the Shanghai Index fell -38 points to hold just above the 3,500 level and the Hang Seng Index fell -278 points to 25,415. In Europe, the German DAX is down over -100 points to 15,755, while the FTSE 100 fell about -30 points to 7,120. On the calendar today, U.S. Q2 GDP is expected to be revised up to a 6.7% clip versus the disappointing 6.5% pace from the Advance report and weekly jobless claims are expected to be 350K, but focus still remains on tomorrow’s Jackson Hole speech from Fed Chair Powell for clues on the timing of a tapering of monetary stimulus. U.S. Treasury yields rose overnight, with that on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note hitting 1.359% for the first time since Aug. 13. There were a handful of earnings results in the software space moving tech as well with ADSK, SNOW,CRM, SPLK, ESTC all out with results, while in retail, WSM rises on its results.

/*============================================= = Premarket Prep 06/01/21 = =============================================*/ U.S. stock futures looking higher, tracking gains in Europe and Asia ahead of manufacturing data that will give fresh insights into the economic recovery. S&P futures are looking higher after closing out May with its fourth consecutive monthly advance as investors have grown more confident that rising inflation won’t lead central banks to ease monetary policy measures, pushing major indexes back toward all-time highs in recent weeks. Economic data in the form of manufacturing showed strength in both Europe and Asia overnight with ISM data coming at 10:00 AM later this morning. For the week, the S&P rose 1.17%, the Dow added 0.94%, the Nasdaq gained 2.06%. For the month, the S&P rose 0.55%, the Dow added 1.94%, and the Nasdaq shed 1.53%. Stocks gained on Friday as investors considered new economic data on consumer spending, income and inflation alongside stronger-than-expected data reports from earlier this week. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index fell -45 points to 28.814, the Shanghai Index rose 9 points to 3,624 and the Hang Seng Index jumped 316 points to 29,468. In Europe, the German DAX is up over 220 points to 15,640, while the FTSE 100 rises over 80 points to top 7,100.

/*============================================= = MORNING UPDATE - Thursday 05/27/21 = =============================================*/ Futures Up/Down % Last Dow -9.00 0.03% 34,271 S&P 500 -8.25 0.20% 4,184 Nasdaq -54.50 0.40% 13,646 Stock futures are edging slightly lower ahead of a busy morning of economic data, as investors await monthly GDP (2nd estimate for Q1 with estimate about 6.4% – in-line with prior reading), jobless claims data, durable goods and pending home sales. The narrative remains the same day after day as the U.S. economy continues to show improvement/rebound from pandemic lows, which has raised concerns over rising inflation and fears the Fed could pull back on its asset purchases/monetary policy – but most official have said over the last week they don’t feel it will be necessary to change course since rising price pressures likely will just be transitory. Market fears remain non-existent again as the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) comes into the day below the 18 level (was above 27 just over a week ago). In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index fell -93 points to 28,549, the Shanghai Index rose 15 points to 3,608 and the Hang Seng Index fell -52 points to 29,113. In Europe, the German DAX is down over 40 points to 15,400, while the FTSE 100 is down a few points to 7,015. Stocks edged higher on Wednesday, with the SmallCap Russell 2000 index leading (up nearly 2%), and the tech heavy Nasdaq Composite, as markets were once again spurred by further reassuring talk from Federal Reserve officials that spiking inflation will be “transitory” with Treasury yields remaining lower. Fed Vice Chair Randal Quarles was the latest Fed official to ease worries about inflation. Outside of SmallCap and tech, momentum related sectors fueled the rally with social media “meme” stocks surging ($GME, $AMC, $EXPR, $KOSS), along with electric vehicle names and Bitcoin leveraged stocks.
