Italian election - Leader of 5-Star Movement says he is willing to govern with rivals

The Italian election is on March 4. The result there could well be significant for the euro

Indeed, news on approach to that date could move EUR.

This via Reuters :

  • The leader of Italy's 5-Star Movement Luigi Di Maio met representatives of some of the world's largest investors and hedge funds at a private club in London
  • To explain 5-Star's policies and the political prospects

Di Maio said repeatedly that if he does not have enough seats to govern alone, he saw the likelihood of a government backed by all the main parties, including 5-Star

Reuters quoting an unnamed source "who was in the room during the day's meetings"

  • Di Maio later denied he had said he was willing to make post-election alliances ... but said he would be willing to negotiate with them on policies.

Indications from 5 Star that they are willing to compromise should be euro supportive
