- The AEX closed Monday, November 9, 2026, at 1,129.97 points, up 0.84 percent from Friday's close.
- Technology, basic materials and financial stocks led the advance, while ASML gained 4.69 percent and ABN AMRO rose 4.07 percent.
- Lower oil prices accompanied the broader European rebound, although the index remained below its recent high.
The AEX ended Monday's session higher after a turbulent previous week. The Dutch benchmark closed at 1,129.97 points, an increase of 9.42 points or 0.84 percent from Friday's close at 1,120.55 points. The session was already completed in Amsterdam when this late-market report was prepared.
Chipmakers and banks lead gains
According to Investing.com, technology, basic materials and financials were the strongest sectors at the close. ASML Holding rose 4.69 percent to 1,343.80, while ABN AMRO gained 4.07 percent to 42.67. ArcelorMittal advanced 3.68 percent to 56.84.
The advance was broad but not uniform. Investing.com reported that 61 Amsterdam-listed stocks rose, compared with 30 decliners; 15 stocks were unchanged. DSM Firmenich fell 2.46 percent, Adyen lost 2.27 percent and Relx declined 1.66 percent.
Oil prices fall as markets recover
The market backdrop also included a sharp decline in crude prices. The same report put Brent crude for January delivery at 93.78 United States dollars a barrel, down 4.62 percent, while West Texas Intermediate for December delivery fell 3.48 percent to 87.67 United States dollars. The euro strengthened 0.57 percent against the United States dollar to 1.12.
The recovery followed a difficult week for European technology stocks. The previous AEX coverage from ad-hoc-news.de recorded a 0.77 percent decline on Friday, when the index closed at 1,120.55 points. Monday's gain therefore represented a partial recovery rather than a complete reversal of the recent weakness.
What investors should watch
The session showed renewed demand for Dutch chip and bank shares, but the sector leadership remained sensitive to developments in the global technology trade and to moves in energy prices. The AEX's closing level was still below the recent 52-week high of 1,147.35 points cited in the market data, leaving the next sessions to determine whether the rebound develops into a broader trend.
