2025-09-15 07:44 By Judith Sib-at 1 min. read

The FTSE MIB Index rose 0.3% to around 42,680 in early trading on Monday, extending its winning streak to a sixth consecutive session and reaching a near three-week high.

Investor sentiment was supported by a widely expected rate cut from the US Federal Reserve later this week amid signs of cooling in the US labor market.

Elsewhere, US and Chinese officials wrapped up the first day of talks in Madrid on Sunday on their strained trade ties, with discussions set to continue today.

On the corporate front, Leonardo (+2.2%), STMicroelectronics (+2.2%), Intesa Sanpaolo (+1.2%), and BPER Banca (+1.7) were among the notable gainers.

Luxury brands also outperformed, with Moncler and Brunello Cucinelli climbing 2.8% and 3.4%, respectively.

FTSE MIB Recovers Partially on Iran-Oman Agreement
The FTSE MIB fell 0.2% to close at 45,625 on Thursday, turning muted after sharp morning losses as Iran and Oman reportedly drafted a protocol to monitor transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Global markets traded sharply lower after US President Trump signaled the Iran war would continue for weeks, but partially recovered on the transit protocol report. Meanwhile, oil prices continued to surge, fueling stagflation fears. Bond yields edged up and the BTP-Bund spread widened, pressuring the financial sector. UniCredit lost 2.5%, MPS fell 2.8%, and Mediobanca dropped 2.5%. STMicroelectronics led losses at 2.8% amid US semiconductor market weakness. In contrast, Eni advanced 4.3% on surging oil prices. Other gainers included Stellantis, up 4.1% after reporting a 10.3% annual rise in sales in March. Also, Generali was up 1%, and Enel gained 0.6%. Markets in Italy will be closed Friday for the Easter holiday.
