MILAN (Reuters) – Shares in Italy’s UniCredit rose 1% in early trade on Monday after a report in Russian business daily Kommersant said the Italian bank had lost interest in Russia’s Otkritie Bank. UniCredit declined to comment. UniCredit shares were up 0.9% by 0804 GMT, compared with a flat banking index. Earlier this month a source told Reuters that Italy’s second-biggest bank was among potential suitors for Otkritie, which Russia’s central bank is looking to sell more than four years after bailing it out.
