Austria's benchmark ATX ended Tuesday, November 3, 2026, lower after a volatile session. The index lost 0.53 percent to close at 6,396.13 points, according to the Vienna Stock Exchange. The exchange's data show a previous close of 6,430.27 points, an opening level of 6,428.23, a session high of 6,486.09 and a low of 6,369.41.
Oil and US elections shape sentiment
The decline came against a cautious European backdrop as investors awaited the outcome of the US midterm elections. dpa-AFX, published by t-online, reported that the US market opening did not produce a decisive reversal for Vienna. The report said the election results were expected on Wednesday, leaving investors focused on the potential implications for future majorities in both chambers of Congress.
Oil prices were another influence on the Austrian market. Brent crude was reported at 103.22 US dollars per barrel, down 1.5 percent from Monday. The weaker oil price was reflected in OMV, which fell 1.3 percent and weighed on the ATX. The broader ATX Prime index declined 0.58 percent to 3,142.18 points.
AT&S leads, consumer shares lag
AT&S was the strongest ATX constituent, rising 2.1 percent. Do&Co was at the other end of the benchmark, losing 1.7 percent. Among the financial stocks, Raiffeisen Bank International gained 0.35 percent after reporting a ten percent increase in nine-month profit and the completion of its acquisition of Romania's Garanti Bank, while Bawag and Erste Group moved lower.
The session leaves the ATX below Monday's close but does not by itself establish a lasting trend. For investors, the next market impulses are likely to come from the US election outcome, energy-price developments and company-specific news. Further ATX coverage is available on the ATX topic page.
