- The PSI 20 opened at 9,586.89 points on November 12, 2026, down 0.08% from the previous close.

Portugal's PSI 20 opened lower on Thursday, November 12, 2026, as weakness in major index constituents outweighed gains elsewhere in the Lisbon market. The index started at 9,586.89 points, a decline of 0.08% from Wednesday's close, according to Jornal Economico.
EDP Shares Weigh at the Open
EDP Renovaveis fell 0.72% at the opening, while EDP declined 0.24% and Banco Comercial Portugues slipped 0.52%, the report said. Ibersol was the weakest listed stock, down 0.75%, while Mota-Engil fell 0.69% and Galp eased 0.08%.
Several stocks moved in the opposite direction. Jeronimo Martins rose 0.77%, NOS gained 0.45%, Corticeira Amorim advanced 0.45%, and Sonae and REN also opened higher. The mixed performance left the benchmark below the previous session's close despite advances in broader European markets.
Previous Session Set a Higher Base
The PSI 20 had finished Wednesday at 9,594.51 points, up 0.48% and at a new one-month high. Investing.com reported that utilities, consumer goods and financial stocks supported that advance, with EDP, Galp and EDP Renovaveis among the strongest performers. The prior-session gain means Thursday's opening pullback represented a modest reversal rather than a break from the recent upward trend.
European and US Market Signals
At the Lisbon open, the DAX and CAC 40 were higher, while the IBEX 35 was little changed, according to Jornal Economico. Market attention also remained on Nvidia-related leadership uncertainty and the direction of US index futures. These international signals provided a mixed backdrop for Portuguese equities, but the opening move was driven mainly by the performance of large PSI 20 constituents.
This is an interim view of the Lisbon session; the index remained in regular trading after the opening snapshot. Further price action and sector rotation could therefore change the day's direction. More coverage is available on the PSI 20 topic page.
