The WIG 20 closed Wednesday's session at 4,190.08 points, up 1.24% from the previous close. The result marked a rebound for Poland's blue-chip benchmark after three consecutive weaker sessions. The close and daily change were reported by Biznes PAP for November 4, 2026.
Global relief supports Warsaw
The session unfolded against a stronger backdrop for international markets. Business Insider Polska reported that Democrats had won control of both chambers of the US Congress in the midterm elections. The publication said the result initially weakened the US dollar and supported a more positive response in Chinese and European equity markets, although Poland's market remained more cautious because of domestic political tensions surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal.
KGHM and banks lead the advance
Business Insider Polska reported that KGHM was among the strongest WIG 20 stocks during the session, supported by gains in copper, silver and gold. State-controlled energy companies also advanced, while banks traded higher. The report identified Orlen as the only WIG 20 stock falling in afternoon trading.
The broader Warsaw market also participated in the recovery. Biznes PAP reported gains of 1.47% for the WIG and 2.30% for the mWIG40, compared with a 0.41% increase for the sWIG80. These figures indicate that the advance extended beyond the largest companies, with mid-cap stocks showing the strongest move among the main benchmark groups.
What the close means
The WIG 20's 1.24% rise was a substantial move relative to the previous session and brought the index back above 4,190 points. The day's performance reflected a combination of firmer international risk sentiment and gains in several heavily watched Polish sectors. Domestic political uncertainty remained a counterweight, according to the market coverage, so the session does not by itself establish a lasting change in trend.
