This week, we present the flagship index of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, the AEX, which has shown good health at the beginning of the year, notably under the impetus of ASML, the star supplier to the semiconductor industry. The MSCI Smart Cities Index is a smart city index and the FTSE Frontier Index is an unexpected stock market index
High index in the Netherlands
This week we take a look at a small European: the AEX. The index, which lists the 25 largest Dutch companies, has performed well since the beginning of the year. Even if it does not do as well as its Swedish counterpart which we talked about last week (OMXS 30), the AEX still shows a nice increase of 13.5% on the first of January, better than the CAC and its 10%. The index was carried by its largest capitalization, ASML, which signs a rise of more than 30% over the same period and becomes the 4th European capitalization. It is also benefiting from the rise of all sectors since the beginning of the year, like the financial sector, which is up nearly 30%, energy (15%) and finally tech (20%).
