World stocks are up 0.4% and European shares 1.1%; Italian bond yields hit new lows on prospect of a new coalition government

Easing worries over political risk in Britain and Italy helped stocks rise on Wednesday with the pound bouncing from three-year lows after a parliamentary vote raised the prospect of another delay to Brexit.

On Wednesday, law makers will seek to pass a law forcing Johnson to ask the EU to delay Brexit until January 31 unless he has an exit deal approved by parliament beforehand. Elsewhere in currency markets, the dollar index against a basket of six major currencies stood at 98.803 after rising overnight to 99.370, its highest level since May 2017.

As a result, 10-year Italian government bond yields hit 0.803%, a new record low, while Italian banks, another proxy for political risk in the country, rallied 2%.
