PSI 20 closes at 9,391.57 points, up 1.82%

The PSI 20 closed Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at 9,391.57 points, up 1.82 percent. The result came as European markets posted broad gains and banking stocks recovered. Investing.com, citing Reuters, reported that financials, consumer services and utilities were among the sectors driving the advance.

Broad gains across Lisbon

Market breadth was positive: 17 stocks rose, 7 declined and 7 finished unchanged on the Lisbon Stock Exchange, according to the same Reuters report. Corticeira Amorim led the PSI 20 with a gain of 6.00 percent to 6.71 euros. Jeronimo Martins advanced 3.88 percent to 19.27 euros, while Banco Comercial Portugues gained 3.82 percent to 1.09 euros.

CTT Correios de Portugal was the weakest component, falling 11.26 percent to 4.73 euros. Galp Energia declined 0.80 percent to 19.85 euros, while Altri slipped 0.12 percent to 4.25 euros. The session therefore combined a strong index performance with pronounced dispersion among individual constituents.

European backdrop supports sentiment

A report by UOL, carrying Dow Jones Newswires information, said European markets reacted positively to the Democratic Party victories in both chambers of the US Congress. The report also highlighted the particularly strong performance of the banking sector, while noting that the PSI 20 closing quotation was preliminary. Separately, the Reuters market report said January Brent fell 8.74 percent to 94.55 US dollars a barrel during commodities trading.

For investors, the close points to a broadly risk-on session in Lisbon, but the sharp fall in CTT and the mixed performance of energy-related names show that the index advance was not uniform. Further direction will depend on whether the wider European banking bid persists and how markets assess the political and energy backdrop. More coverage is available on the PSI 20 topic page.
