Italy's Giorgetti calls to ban short-sale on banks – La Repubblica

Italian Cabinet Undersecretary Giancarlo Giorgetti was on the wires last minutes, via La Repubblica, urging to ban the short-sale on the banking stocks.

This comes after the spike in the Italian bond yields a day before triggered a sell-off in the nation’s banking sector stocks. However, the Italian bonds are seen in the green zone so far this Wednesday, cheering the latest comments by the Italian Deputy PM Salvini.
