FTSE MIB Extends Losses

2026-03-27 08:48 By Kyrie Dichosa 1 min. read

The FTSE MIB fell to around 43,500 on Friday, extending losses from the previous session, as President Trump’s announcement of a deadline extension for Iran failed to lift sentiment.

He said he would delay planned strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure for another 10 days, extending the pause until April 6 to give negotiators more time to reach an agreement.

Despite the temporary stand-down, oil prices continued to rise, driving inflation fears.

Across the bourse, laggards included Leonardo (-1.4%), STMicroelectronics (-2.3%), and Prysmian (-0.9%).

Heavyweight financials were also mostly in the red, as stagflation concerns lifted bond yields and widened the BTP-Bund spread sharply.

For the week, the index is heading for a gain of over 1%.

FTSE MIB Falls as Oil Surge Stokes Stagflation Fears
The FTSE MIB fell 0.7% to 43,702 on Thursday as markets navigated uncertainty over Middle East peace talks. The US pushed back against talks after Iran had countered their first proposals for a ceasefire, raising oil prices and stoking inflation worries. Energy-driven stagflation fears lifted bond yields and the BTP-Bund spread widened sharply, pressuring financials. UniCredit lost 2%, Intesa Sanpaolo fell 1.8%, and Finecobank posted a 1.6% loss. Oil-related stocks gained on higher commodity prices: Eni rose 2% and Saipem surged 5.8%. Recordati Ord rose 4.7% on takeover bid rumors from CVC.
