Italian Stocks Extend Gains
Milan’s FTSE MIB closed 0.4% higher at 51,947 on Wednesday, remaining at its highest level since late September, as renewed optimism surrounding AI-related stocks offset losses among heavyweight financials. Tech shares Technoprobe (7.7%), STMicroelectronics (5.2%) and Prysmian (4.3%) advanced, supported by an upbeat outlook from CoreWeave and anticipation ahead of Anthropic's IPO. Telecom Italia also climbed 2.4% after reporting third-quarter core earnings broadly in line with expectations. Energy firms also gained, tracking higher oil prices. Financial and banking stocks, however, weighed on the benchmark as sovereign yields rose on growing expectations of a Fed hike, with sharper declines in Banca Mediolanum (-2.5%), Intesa (-1.4%) and MPS (-1.3%). A2A extended its decline, dropping more than 3%. Stellantis fell 3% after selling its Toronto factory, prompting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to threaten legal and policy measures to protect laid-off workers.
