Mr Cominelli provided an analysis of the key financial developments of the moment, commenting on highly relevant topics such as Stellantis, the automotive sector, and the steady growth of Bitcoin.

Whereas the European automotive sector is facing significant challenges, Stellantis recorded a growth of around 2% (on December 17). Regarding Bitcoin, Mr Cominelli attributed its growth in part to Trump’s victory in the U.S. elections.

Concerning the oil and energy sector, he highlighted the recent turmoil, with ENI’s performance reflecting it. Finally, after the privatisation of NVP by the Pintabona family, he analysed the trend towards delisting, emphasising the growing difficulty for SMEs to attract investments and use the stock market as a financing source.
