Report 04/2018
Past month has been mark from two events : the unexpected performance of FTSEMIB index and the strong recovery of the dollar.
The Italian index, with a considerable delay compared to other equity indices, has recovered important levels even under the highs marked at the beginning of the sub-prime crisis.
The strength of FTSEMIB index finds no motivation both for the fundamentals and from the technical point of view. However, considering the weight of Italian securities, equal to 48% of our portfolio, we have appreciated this positivity. To this we add the additional positivity offered by trading on domestic derivatives.
The recovery of the dollar, initially victim of the duties war, did not surprise us, so that, with an exposure to 29% of the currency, the portfolio benefited further.
We attach schedule of the portfolio.
