The PSI 20 is heading into Friday trading after closing Thursday at 9,601.04 points, a gain of 0.07 percent. The index's latest session and its identifier are listed by Euronext. Because the Lisbon session was still under way during the configured European midday window, this is an opening outlook rather than a closing report.
Energy stocks support the open
According to Jornal Economico, Lisbon opened Friday at 9,626.44 points. Based on the published opening level and Thursday's close, that represents an increase of approximately 0.26 percent. The Portuguese financial publication reported that the PSI 20 was moving against the direction of major European markets at the start of the session, with energy companies Galp Energia and REN providing the main support.
REN rose 1.64 percent to 3.715 euros at the open, while Galp Energia gained 1.44 percent to 19.41 euros. Other early gainers included Teixeira Duarte, Jeronimo Martins, The Navigator Company and EDP. CTT, Banco Comercial Portugues, Mota-Engil and EDP Renovaveis moved lower, according to the same report. These individual moves describe the opening composition of the index and should not be treated as a forecast for the final session result.
Thursday's market backdrop
Thursday's advance was restrained. Jornal Economico said Sonae, Galp Energia, NOS and Navigator were among the leading supports, while European markets broadly finished higher. Sonae rose 0.88 percent to 2.2850 euros, Galp added 0.74 percent to 19.14 euros and NOS gained 0.71 percent to 5.635 euros. The report also noted that investors were still digesting higher sovereign-bond yields and uncertainty in the technology sector.
International focus for investors
A Reuters report published by The News & Observer said European shares opened lower on Friday after record highs in the previous session. The report linked the cautious tone to uncertainty about the artificial-intelligence trade following Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation, while noting that Europe's smaller exposure to AI-related stocks had limited the direct impact relative to US markets. For PSI 20 investors, the early resilience of energy shares therefore stood out against a softer regional opening, but the final direction remained dependent on the rest of the Lisbon session and later international trading.
