The FTSE MIB was trading at 49,699.98 points at 1:00 p.m. CET on Monday, November 2, 2026, according to Teleborsa. The index was up 0.40 percent at that point, leaving Milan in a modestly positive intraday position. The figure is an ongoing-session reading rather than a closing level.
Modest recovery in Milan
The previous close was 49,500.97 points, as shown on the Borsa Italiana FTSE MIB page. Relative to that reference, the midday level represented a gain of 199.01 points. The move followed a weak European equity session on Friday, when the index ended 1.00 percent lower at 49,500.97 points.
Investors weigh global catalysts
Market attention remained focused on Tuesday's US midterm elections and on major technology earnings due during the week. In its morning market report, Borsa Italiana's Radiocor service said investors were cautious ahead of the vote and were awaiting results from Apple and Palantir, while concerns about the sustainability of the artificial-intelligence rally remained in focus.
Falling oil prices provided a more supportive backdrop. la Repubblica reported that oil declined amid renewed diplomatic efforts involving the United States and Iran. The same report described the European session as a tentative rebound after October's losses, with investors also looking to upcoming technology results for direction.
Intraday status remains provisional
At the configured midday slot, the FTSE MIB had therefore recovered moderately from the previous session's decline, but the final result for November 2 remained open. Further movement could depend on US election expectations, technology earnings and developments in energy markets. For continuing coverage, see the FTSE MIB topic page.
