FTSE MIB Trades Higher

2026-09-11 08:06 By Kyrie Dichosa 1 min. read

The FTSE MIB rose to around 52,100 on Friday, after edging lower in the previous session, as oil prices eased, offering some relief to markets.

Still, tensions in the Middle East remained elevated, keeping inflation risks and expectations for tighter monetary policy in focus.

Banking stocks outperformed, with UniCredit up 0.7% and Intesa Sanpaolo 1.5%, as investors continued to assess the sector’s consolidation wave.

UniCredit’s board approved a capital increase to support its planned takeover of Commerzbank, while Intesa’s proposed acquisition of MPS faces an upcoming antitrust review.

Other financials rising included Unipol (+1.4%), Banca Mediolanum (+1.3%) and FinecoBank (+1.0%).

Prysmian also added 0.8% after raising €850 million through a capital increase to partially fund its planned acquisition of US-based Atkore.

For the week, the benchmark index is poised for a muted performance.

FTSE MIB Closes Flat
The FTSE MIB closed largely unchanged at 51,807 on Thursday, as investors remained cautious amid rising global oil prices, while the US-Iran war showed no sign of waning, fuelling inflation concerns and pushing sovereign yields higher. The ECB raised its key policy rate at its September meeting while warning that inflation could remain elevated, increasing bets on further hikes and clouding the outlook for credit demand. In Milan, the banking game remained in focus as Intesa Sanpaolo (0.1%) shareholders approved the capital increase for the takeover bid of MPS (0.6%), which is set to vote on its defense plan in late October. In turn, Eni rose 0.4%, tracking higher global oil prices. Leonardo advanced 2.9% after BNP Paribas upgraded its rating. Luxury stocks extended their decline from the previous session, led by Moncler (-3.5%). Stellantis fell 0.5% after the company recalled more than 200,000 vehicles due to a software error.
