AEX index opens cautiously amid chip sector losses and rising oil prices
The AEX index began the trading day with a slight increase of 0.1% to 1,116.32 points, following a 0.2% gain on Monday. This modest rise was tempered by declines in chip companies ASMI, Besi, and ASML, which experienced losses after significant gains the previous day. Additionally, oil prices continued to climb due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, contributing to market caution. Investors are also awaiting the reopening of Wall Street after the U.S. holiday and the European Central Bank's interest rate decision later this week.
