FTSE MIB Extends Decline

2026-02-13 09:08 By Kyrie Dichosa 1 min. read

The FTSE MIB fell 0.5% to around 46,000 on Friday, extending its decline for the fourth consecutive session and mirroring moves across European peers, as caution dominated markets.

The drop came as investors awaited key US inflation data that could influence expectations for the Federal Reserve’s next rate decision.

Adding to the caution, investors questioned the long-term viability of heavy spending on artificial intelligence.

Technology stocks and related shares were under renewed pressure, with Prysmian leading the decline, down over 4%.

Nexi was also down 1%, and A2A shed nearly 2%.

Some financials were also in negative territory, including Banco BPM (-1.1%) and Bper Banca (-1.6%), while luxury auto stocks Stellantis (-1%) and Ferrari (-1.2%) also fell.

For the week, the benchmark index is on track for a muted performance.

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.
