PG leads trading activity
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 rose by 0.1% to 4,075.3 points as the gains in Main Street, MPC, Lombard and BOV outweighed the declines in PG and GO. Meanwhile, seven equities closed unchanged as today’s total trading activity amounted to €0.37 million. Download today’s Equity Market Summary.

GO plc shed 0.8% to the €2.48 level on a single deal of 550 shares.

The RF MGS Index rose by 0.12% to 898.161 points ahead of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting later today. The Fed is widely expected to hold the federal funds rate at 3.50%–3.75% for a fourth consecutive meeting, even as US inflation running at 4.2% annually continues to build the case for a hike later in the year. Elsewhere in the UK, data released today showed UK inflation unexpectedly held steady at 2.8% in May, below the 3.0% which was anticipated. On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.2%, below the 0.4% forecast and easing sharply from a 0.7% increase last month.
