Amsterdam

Amsterdam’s main index trended upwards as semiconductor companies found their footing after a volatile reaction to Nvidia’s latest financial update. While major tech players regained some ground, geo-data firm Fugro struggled following a year of offshore project delays. Rising geopolitical tensions also pushed oil prices significantly higher as the trading week drew to a close.

European markets rallied on Wednesday as UK inflation hit a near one-year low, boosting hopes for future interest rate cuts. While tech and steel stocks drove gains in Amsterdam, chemical and retail sectors faced pressure from geopolitical uncertainty and disappointing earnings reports. ——————————
