Following last week's article detailing the performance of the S&P 500 index in 2025, it is worth devoting time to review the developments across the European equity markers in my last article of the year.
The MSE Equity Price Index advanced by 0.72% to a fresh six-year high of 4,346.3 points, as gains in nine equities outweighed declines in five, while MaltaPost and PG closed unchanged. Total trading value across local equities amounted to €0.36 million. Download today’s Equity Market Summary.
