LONDON - Trade war worries and the prospect of early elections in Italy and Britain hit European markets on Friday, while the week’s search for safety left gold on course for its best week in three years, Japan’s yen at an eight-month high and bonds surging.
Europe was then led lower by a 1.6% slump in Italian stocks after Matteo Salvini, the leader of one of the country’s ruling parties, the League, pulled his support for the governing coalition on Thursday. [.EU] London’s FTSE and the pound were under strain, too, after reports the new UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was planning for an election after an Oct. 31 Brexit. Sterling fell to two-year lows against the euro.
MSCI’s broadest index of world shares, which tracks 47 countries, was drifting back into the red and heading for its second straight week of declines, after one of its worst days in years on Monday.
