- The AEX closed Tuesday at 1,132.44 points, up 2.47 points or 0.22 percent.
- Chipmakers, basic-materials stocks and financials supported the index, while Shell declined.
- Higher-than-expected US inflation reduced the market's earlier gains by increasing expectations for a December Federal Reserve rate hike.
The AEX closed Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 1,132.44 points, according to ANP, reported by Reformatorisch Dagblad. The index gained 2.47 points, equivalent to 0.22 percent, after rising 0.84 percent on Monday. The close was above the previous session's 1,129.97 points, the level listed in Euronext's AEX historical data.
Chipmakers Extend Their Recovery
Semiconductor shares remained a central support for the Amsterdam benchmark. ASML, ASM International and BE Semiconductor advanced by as much as 2.6 percent, continuing the rebound that began after the previous week's technology sell-off. The Reformatorisch Dagblad report said investors were also monitoring developments involving Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, an alleged Chinese espionage affair and the planned initial public offering of artificial-intelligence company Anthropic.
The broader market was positive but selective. Investing.com, citing Reuters, reported that basic materials, technology and financials led the advance. ArcelorMittal rose 2.96 percent, BE Semiconductor gained 2.59 percent and Ahold Delhaize added 2.49 percent. Advancing stocks outnumbered decliners 53 to 38, with 10 unchanged.
Inflation Limits the Late-Day Upside
European equities had started the session on a firmer footing as lower oil prices and easing concerns about a possible escalation between the United States and Iran supported risk appetite. The tone became more cautious after US consumer prices rose more than expected in October. The inflation data increased expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates in December, putting pressure on equity valuations and reducing earlier gains.
Oil-related shares also weighed on the AEX. Shell fell 2.04 percent in the Reuters-based market report, while the Reformatorisch Dagblad said the company was removed from Santander's buy list as oil prices continued to decline. The combination of stronger chip stocks and weaker energy shares left the Dutch benchmark with a modest gain rather than a broad late-session advance.
