LIVE | AEX Opens in the Plus, AMX Down Due to Arcadis Blow
The AEX index opened with positive gains, driven by strong performances from ASML and ASMi, while Besi lagged behind. Exor led the main index, whereas Adyen and Prosus declined. Investor sentiment turned negative following news that WSP has abandoned its takeover attempt and lost interest in Arcadis, causing Arcadis shares to drop more than 8 percent. Market participants are also monitoring the upcoming meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, as well as McDonald’s scheduled Investor Day later in the day.
