(ANSA) – MILAN, MARCH 18 – European stock exchanges halve losses in the afternoon as investors monitor the developments of the war in Ukraine on a day that saw US President Biden and Chinese President Xi discuss the crisis and Russian Putin addressing the country. Frankfurt lost 0.7%, Milan 0.3%, Paris 0.5% and London 0.3% after the uncertain start of Wall Street, whose indices move around parity in a session in which the volatility is accentuated by the expiry of options on indices and shares for 3.5 trillion dollars.
