Talks held over the past days between Democratic Party and the Five Star Movement were inconclusive. President Sergio Mattarella is said to give the two parties last chance to find an agreement today. In case they fail to reach a compromise, the most likely outcome is snap elections. Matteo Salvini’s League is still leading in polls with 33% support but has lost some ground recently to the benefit of the Five Star Movement. Traders with exposure to the Italian assets should watch today’s newsflow closely for any hints on what will the near future look like.
