Well down, now Spain is also affecting things U.S. stocks accelerated losses in afternoon trade Tuesday, with the Dow industrials down more than 400 points as traders returning from a three-day weekend were greeted by fresh political drama in Italy. Another Italian election looks likely within a few months, and investors fear it could turn into a de facto referendum on the country�s membership in the euro. Traders also were assessing efforts to revive a June summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, as well as political uncertainty in Spain, where Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is now struggling to stay in power.

Still moving south........ it needs an injection of good news, but where's the bottom Some think still further to go !!!!!! I'm watching closely

Dip at the close ;-((

* Euro at 11-month low on political turmoil in Italy * Stocks slump in U.S., Europe, Asia * Short-term Italian bond yields sees biggest spike in 26 years Markets fear a snap Italian election will be referendum on EU * Yen, Swiss franc, Treasuries dominate safe-haven rally (Updates through U.S. stock market open; Changes dateline, previous London) By Trevor Hunnicutt NEW YORK, May 29 (Reuters) - A spiralling Italian political crisis provoked a global stock market selloff on Tuesday, cut the euro cut to an 11-month low and spiked short-term borrowing costs for the government in Rome. Investors fear that repeat elections - which now seem inevitable in the euro zone's third-largest economy - may become a de-facto referendum on Italian membership of the currency bloc and the country's role in the European Union. Safe-haven U.S. Treasury bonds rallied, as did the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar, but gold was nearly unchanged with spot prices at $1,301.94 an ounce early in U.S. trading after earlier gains. "As the slide continues, you ask where is the end," said Saxo Bank's head of FX strategy, John Hardy. Global contagion is a risk, he said, with the benchmark U.S. S&P 500 stocks index breaching key "technical" support levels.

LONDON, May 29 (Reuters) - The euro fell on Tuesday to a 10-month low after a selloff in Italy�s debt market drove investors to dump the single currency. A deepening political crisis in Italy, the euro zone�s third biggest economy, provoked selling of Italian assets and the euro that was reminiscent of the euro zone debt crisis of 2010-2012.

The consumer confidence index rose to 128 from a revised 125.6 in April, the Conference Board said Tuesday. What they are saying?: �Consumer confidence has remained resilient in recent months despite uncertainty stoked by anti-trade rhetoric and stock market volatility,� economists at Barclays said. Market reaction: The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) and Standard & Poor�s (^GSPC) fell sharply in Tuesday trades, but prices partly recovered after the report on consumer confidence.

ITALIAN EXPORTERS PROVIDE SILVER LINING (1440 GMT) With (Other OTC: WWTH - news) a political crisis on their hands, investors have dumped their Italian stock holdings and sold the index en masse today. But what about those, like Italy-focused fund managers and specialised investors, who can't exit Italy entirely? They're likely part of the flows pushing up prices of international Italy-listed stocks as they rush into names that offer more exposure to global growth, and less to domestic turmoil and the Italian bond sell-off.

Come one come all, daggers are out today on anti !!!!!!!

Well it's not as if it's come as a big surprise We talked about it last weekend Global stocks slump amid Italian political turmoil......
