2026-07-14 16:28 By Larissa Caser 1 min. read

The FTSE MIB rose 0.1% to close at 52,862 on Tuesday, supported by lower-than-expected inflation data in the US.

The data eased expectations of a July Fed rate hike, although financial stocks posted mixed performances.

Fincantieri jumped 2.7% after unveiling plans to integrate artificial intelligence into its technological innovation strategy, while Intesa Sanpaolo (0.3%) reaffirmed its buy rating on the stock.

Utilities also advanced amid increased cooling demand, led by A2A (1.8%).

Hera gained 1.2% after signing a binding agreement to acquire a 70% stake in Kronos Polymer Polska, while oil major Eni added 0.7%, supported by volatile oil prices.

Inwit was the session's worst performer, falling 3.8% after an Italian court rejected its request to suspend the Fastweb+Vodafone termination from the MSA.

Meanwhile, the European Central Bank selected banks and payment firms for the digital euro project, including BPMS (0.7%), Nexi (0.2%) and UniCredit (-0.5%).
