Computime profits climb as revenue grows
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 0.30% to a fresh six-year high of 4,220.0 points as the gains in HSBC and FIMBank outweighed the declines in MIA, Trident and PG. Furthermore, three equities remained unchanged. Total trading value amounted to €0.18 million. Download today’s Equity Market Summary.

The RF MGS Index dropped by 0.35% to 890.3 points as euro area sovereign bond yields continued to surge.

Higher energy costs added to concerns over persistent inflation, lifting the German 10-year Bund yield to 3.25%, its highest level since March 2011.
