MarketWatch reports “Rally continues in European stocks on coronavirus hopes as pound recovers from Johnson hospitalization”10 and 10 euro on black leather wallet



 European stocks climbed for a second day as traders focused on data showing that the growth rate of the coronavirus spread is slowing.
Up 3.7% on Monday, the Stoxx Europe 600 SXXP, -0.61% climbed 2.2%, and the German DAX DAX, -0.53%, French CAC 40 PX1, -0.99% and U.K. FTSE 100 UKX, -0.89% also jumped.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.11% shot up 1627.46 points, or 7.73%, on Monday, and futures on the blue-chip index YM00, 1.01% rose another 600 points.
Beaten-up stocks from the pandemic surged. Movie-chain operator Cineworld Group CINE, -0.20%, which halted its dividend, jumped 44%, and cruise-ship operator Carnival CCL, 0.62% climbed 23%. Both companies have dropped 78% this year.

Two of Europe’s better-performing stocks this year struggled, with diagnostics-test maker bioMerieux BIM, -0.48% and prepared-food-kit maker HelloFresh HFG, 5.77% retreating.
The stock market gains came as the global growth rate of coronavirus cases continued to slow, to 5.8% from 6%, according to data from Deutsche Bank, while the U.S. growth rate did edge back up to 9% from 8.2%. Still, that is the second straight day of sub-10% growth in the U.S. The news on the virus front wasn’t entirely positive, as Japan declared a state of emergency in seven prefectures.
As the virus outbreak continues, U.S. lawmakers are considering another stimulus package that could be worth more than $1 trillion, according to The Washington Post.

Italy: Wine sales sour from virus

Italy: Wine sales sour from virus With Italy's restaurants and bars closed for another month and global trade snuffed out by the coronavirus, the world's top wine producing country is experiencing an existential crisis. Italy's 47.5 million hectoliters edged out France's 42.1 million for last year's global wine production title, although France's 9.8 billion euros ($10.7 billion) in exports beat out Italy's 6.4 billion euros. Making nearly a fifth of all the world's wine and selling more than half of it at home, Italy's two-month lockdown has hit the Mediterranean country's winegrowers especially hard. High end hurting Some of Italy's most prestigious wines are suffering from the worldwide lockdown. For decades, Barolo has focused on "maximum quality," earning a place on the wine lists of some of the world's best restaurants, said Paolo Boffa, president of the Terre del Barolo cooperative.

But more than 100,000 mainly small- and medium-sized companies have applied to keep going or partially reopen. In principle, a key hurdle for companies to do business should be that they can prove they are part of a supply chain to businesses that are deemed “essential” in a government decree, such as food, energy or pharmaceutical companies.

More than 105,000 firms have applied to be considered part of essential supply chains, the interior minister said on Wednesday, in a guideline on its website to clarify the lockdown rules. Of those, just over 2,000 have been turned down and told to suspend their business. More than 38,000 are being investigated and the rest are waiting to be...
