FTSE MIB Gains on Eni and Inwit

2026-03-24 16:55 By Isabela Couto 1 min. read

The FTSE MIB gained 0.4% to 43,369 on Tuesday, lifted by energy and tech gains.

Eni rose 2% as oil prices climbed after Iran denied holding US talks to end the Gulf war, contradicting Trump's deal comments.

Also, Inwit surged 9.9% after reports indicated major shareholder Ardian is in talks with Canadian investor Brookfield Asset Management on a potential joint acquisition.

Meanwhile, financials traded mixed as rising oil renewed stagflation fears and lifted bond yields.

Intesa Sanpaolo fell 0.7%, UniCredit inched down 0.1%, and Generali shed 0.2%.

MPS rose 1.2% and Mediobanca gained 1.8%.

MPS CEO Lovaglio, under investigation over last year's Mediobanca acquisition, emerged as a candidate to continue in the role after a minority shareholder nominated him to counter the board's decision to exclude him.

FTSE MIB Edges Lower
The FTSE MIB slipped to around 43,000 on Tuesday, giving back some gains from the previous session as markets grappled with uncertainty over a resolution to the Iran conflict. Reports highlighted ongoing diplomatic efforts, with several countries acting as intermediaries to encourage de-escalation. Nonetheless, the situation remains fragile, with continued strikes and no clear breakthrough in direct talks. Iran has maintained attacks on US and allied forces in the region and has publicly refuted formal negotiations with Washington. Key laggards included Leonardo (-3.1%), Intesa Sanpaolo (-1.1%), UniCredit (-1%), and Ferrari (-1.1%). On the flip side, energy giants Enel and Eni each rose about 1%, tracking the resumption of oil prices’ advance.
