Rule reminder

Italian financial journalism uses dense, technical language. Il Sole 24 Ore, Italy's leading financial newspaper, combines economic data, policy analysis, and market commentary. Key vocabulary includes: 'rallentamento' (slowdown), 'contrazione' (contraction), 'ripresa' (recovery), 'volatilità' (volatility), 'rendimento' (yield/return), 'rialzo dei tassi' (rate hike). Practice reading full sentences before identifying meaning from context.
