TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Italy and the EU on a possible collision course over Italy’s budget, Italian stock markets were in the red last week and dragged down the German equity markets as well. The DAX slipped 1.1%, as risk appetite has decreased. Last week, the Italian government voted to increase spending and cuts taxes and set the budget deficit at 2.4% for 2019, 2020 and 2021. The European Commission must approve the budget, and EU policymakers are unhappy with the budget, as they have been pushing Rome to reduce the current deficit, which stands at 1.6% of GDP. EU Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said last week that the budget could breach EU fiscal regulations and called the Italian deficit “explosive”. However, the Italian government strongly backs the budget, so this crisis could continue and weigh on the DAX.
