Price Development AEX Index
It is Friday, May 24th, and the AEX is around 909 at midday. This is the same level as last week.
Above, you will find the chart of the AEX over the past four weeks. On the left, you can see the volatile period and the subsequent rise. For the past two weeks, the index has been moving sideways.
In the past week, the AEX has continued its sideways pattern. The index has been fluctuating within the relatively narrow range between 905 and 918 for the past two weeks. On Thursday, the AEX reached its highest point due to the excellent figures from Nvidia released on Wednesday evening. The Tech sector, in particular, benefited from this. On Thursday afternoon, the PMI was released. This is a purchasing managers' index. Notably, the purchasing managers' index in the service sector was significantly higher than expected. From this, you can infer that the US economy is performing better than expected, and therefore, a rate cut might be postponed. As a result, there was a sharp drop in the AEX to 905. Currently, it is back at 909.
