2026-02-12 09:04 By Kyrie Dichosa 1 min. read

The FTSE MIB rose 0.6% to around 46,760 on Thursday, ending two subdued sessions, approaching record levels and broadly in line with its European peers.

The gains were driven by a rebound in index-heavy financials, as investors remained focused on fresh corporate earnings.

Banca Generali led the advance, climbing more than 3% after reporting a stable net interest margin yield of 1.95%, in line with guidance.

Other banks also traded higher, including UniCredit (+1.2%), Intesa Sanpaolo (+1.2%), Mediobanca (+2.3%), Banco BPM (+1%), Banca Mediolanum (+1.6%), Unipol Gruppo, and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (+1.6%).

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.
