The FTSE MIB jumped 2% to close at 46,808 on Monday, supported by strong earnings.

UniCredit surged 6.5% after targeting net profit of about €11 billion in 2026, following a 13.6% rise to €10.6 billion in 2025, above market expectations.

Other financials also advanced, with MPS up 2.2% and Unipol gaining 2.4%.

STMicroelectronics led the index with a 9.8% rally after expanding its strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services through a multi-year commercial agreement worth “many billions” of dollars to support high-performance computing for cloud and AI data centers.

The US group may also take a stake just below 3% via a warrant.

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.
