- The FTSE MIB closed at 50,505 points on November 5, 2026, down 1.03 percent.

The FTSE MIB ended Thursday's session lower, reversing part of the previous day's strong advance. According to ANSA, the Italian benchmark index closed on November 5, 2026, at 50,505 points, down 1.03 percent. The report was published at 17:40 Berlin time, after the Milan trading session had ended.
A reversal after Wednesday's rally
The move came after the FTSE MIB had climbed 2.18 percent to 51,031 points on Wednesday. ANSA reported that banks including Intesa Sanpaolo and UniCredit were among the strongest performers in that session, which brought the index back to levels last seen about a month earlier.
Election and earnings backdrop
Before the close on Thursday, ANSA reported that Milan shares had initially traded higher alongside other European markets after the US election outcome and amid the latest quarterly results. The morning report highlighted gains in several banks and Amplifon, while Leonardo, Eni and ST traded lower. Those early-session observations provide context for the day's trading, but do not establish a single cause for the closing decline.
For investors, the session underscores the FTSE MIB's sensitivity to large-cap banking performance, energy prices and international risk sentiment. The index's close remains the relevant reference for comparing Thursday's completed Milan session with the prior trading day; intraday levels are not used as a substitute for the official end-of-session reading.
