Italian Stocks Hit First Record in 26 Years Led by Energy, Chips The Milan Stock Exchange's FTSE MIB index reached a record high of 27,300 points on Wednesday, marking the first time since 1997 that Italian stocks have hit such heights.
This milestone is significant given Italy's economic struggles over the years, including a severe recession in the early 2000s and a slow recovery.
Several factors are contributing to Italy's stock market surge, but two sectors stand out: energy and chips.
