FTSE MIB Bounces Back

2026-03-10 08:53 By Judith Sib-at 1 min. read

The FTSE MIB rose more than 2% to around 45,000 in early trading on Tuesday, rebounding from a nearly three-month low, after President Trump signaled that the war against Iran could end soon.

Trump said on Monday that the conflict “is very complete” and indicated that the US is “very far ahead” of his initial four- to five-week timeline for military operations.

Still, investors are keeping an eye on energy markets following the recent surge in crude prices, which has reignited worries over inflation, interest rates, and broader economic growth.

Financial stocks led the recovery, with strong gains from UniCredit (+4.6%), Intesa Sanpaolo (+3.1%), Banca Mediolanum (+4%), Banco BPM (+3.6%), Bper Banca (+4.7%), Mediobanca (+4.9%), and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (+4.8%).

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.
