2026-02-25 09:12 By Judith Sib-at 1 min. read

The FTSE MIB rose 0.8% to above 47,000 in early trading on Wednesday, following a modest decline in the previous session, as trade jitters somewhat eased following President Trump’s latest tariff move.

Investors are assessing the new trade landscape after the 10% global tariff took effect on Tuesday, instead of the previously threatened 15% rate.

Financial stocks led the market rebound, with significant gains in UniCredit (+1.4%), Banco BPM (+1.1%), BPER Banca (+1.1%), Mediobanca (+2.2%), Banca Mediolanum (+2.1%), FinecoBank (+2.8%), and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (+2.2%).

Other top performers included Ferrari (+1.8%), Prysmian (+2.9%), and Nexi (+2.2%).

Meanwhile, shares of defence group Leonardo fell 0.6%, even as its 2025 results exceeded financial targets, with strong growth across all key indicators and a substantial debt reduction.
