FTSE MIB Scales New Record

2026-02-04 08:51 By Kyrie Dichosa 1 min. read

The FTSE MIB climbed 0.5% to around 46,600 on Wednesday, marking its fourth consecutive session of gains and hitting a record high, driven by heavyweight financials.

Leading the advance were Mediobanca and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, up more than 5% and 3%, respectively.

Peers Unicredit (+0.7%), Intesa Sanpaolo (+0.6%), and Bper Banca (+1.1%) also advanced.

Among other notable performers, energy stock Eni rose 1.3% on higher oil prices, while Stellantis and Infrastrutture Wire each gained 1%.

On the data front, a fresh PMI survey showed Italy’s private sector growth regaining momentum in January, with the services sector expanding more than expected.

Market focus now shifts to January inflation data and other key European and global indicators, including the Eurozone flash CPI and the US ADP jobs report.

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.
