Markets continued their recovery despite a lack of detailed information, according to analysts at Dekabank. The most intense phase of the conflict appears to be over, noted Andreas Lipkow of CMC Markets. “Now it remains to be seen how quickly diplomacy can negotiate a ceasefire or truce,” Lipkow said, adding that investors would react immediately to any renewed escalation.
The positive sentiment was also reflected in the ATX Prime segment. Only a few stocks experienced declines, with Verbund, OMV, and Semperit down 3.5 percent, 1.5 percent, and 0.5 percent, respectively. These modest losses came as broader European markets showed signs of stabilization.
AT&S was among the biggest winners, gaining 10.4 percent in early trading. The Austrian printed circuit board manufacturer’s strong performance suggests investor confidence in the technology sector. Do&Co also performed well, rising 7.5 percent, and voestalpine increased by 6.4 percent.
