FTSE MIB Declines

2026-05-26 07:49 By Kyrie Dichosa 1 min. read

Italy’s FTSE MIB fell to around 50,000 on Tuesday, after hitting a fresh record in the previous session, as optimism over a US–Iran deal was tempered by signs of setbacks in negotiations and continued mixed signals from both sides.

Tensions rose following reported military strikes in the region, described by US forces as “self-defense” operations.

The developments came shortly after comments from President Trump suggesting progress in talks with Tehran on a potential interim agreement.

The renewed uncertainty adds upward pressure to oil prices.

Across the bourse, the leading decliner was Ferrari, which shed nearly 6% shortly after the launch of its first fully electric vehicle.

Other notable laggards included luxury names Moncler and Brunello Cucinelli, down 1.9% and 2.6% respectively.

Generali also fell 0.9% after unveiling Redion, the group’s new global care platform brand.

FTSE MIB Hits Record High as Oil Prices Slide
Italy’s FTSE MIB climbed 1.4% to a record close of 50,220 on Monday, supported by a sharp drop in oil prices amid growing expectations that the US and Iran were nearing an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Crude prices fell below $100 per barrel after senior US officials indicated that both sides were close to restoring the key Middle East shipping route, although final approval could still take several days. Lower oil prices eased inflation concerns and prompted investors to scale back expectations for further interest rate hikes. Financial stocks led gains, with UniCredit rising 2.7% and Intesa Sanpaolo adding 2.2%. Luxury shares also advanced as risk aversion eased, with Ferrari up 2.8% and Moncler gaining 3.1%. Other notable gainers included Stellantis (+2.9%) and Prysmian (+2.1%). Nexi surged 6.5% after state-backed investor CDP Equity announced plans to increase its stake in the payments group to as much as 29.9%. In contrast, Eni fell 1.1% on lower oil prices.
