Europe Market Wrap 5 October: Madrid Jumps 1.12 Percent as Paris Is the Only Board Lower and All Eight Sectors Rise

By The Edge Research Team

Madrid’s IBEX 35 jumped 1.12 percent on Monday to 19,299.70 and eight of the nine European boards we track closed higher, with Paris the session’s only decline: the CAC 40 fell 0.80 percent on the day the euro touched a 17 month low of 1.1160 overnight, with France’s fiscal position named as the weight on the currency, per Reuters. All eight Stoxx supersectors we track rose on the official closing values, led by basic resources at 1.53 percent and banks at 1.33, and Frankfurt’s DAX ended 0.09 percent higher at 25,254.21 on the exchange’s own closing price. On the standing rows at 16:18 GMT, Brent crude traded 0.99 percent below Friday’s written settlement at 101.24 dollars a barrel on the December contract.

Madrid leads eight rising boards as Milan and Amsterdam follow

The green side ran wide and shallow outside Spain. The IBEX 35 added 214.40 points to 19,299.70 on the exchange’s own settled board, the day’s best row, Milan’s FTSE MIB rose 0.66 percent to 50,818.38 on Borsa Italiana’s own final, and Amsterdam’s AEX added 0.64 percent to 1,123.88 on Euronext’s own closing print. The Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0.36 percent to 633.62 on the official 16:00 GMT closing values, London’s FTSE 100 added 0.34 percent to 10,497.94 on the exchange’s own board, Zurich’s SMI rose 0.31 percent to 13,703.53 on SIX’s own page, and the DAX closed 0.09 percent higher at 25,254.21, Deutsche Boerse’s own closing price sitting 8.31 points above the index’s 17:30 level, with the Euro Stoxx 50 up 0.06 percent at 6,242.14 on the official values. Every previous value on the board matches the closes we published in our Europe wrap of 2 October exactly.

Paris stands alone as every tracked sector rises and the euro holds near its overnight low

The CAC 40 fell 63.09 points to 7,834.10 on Euronext’s own final print, the only decline on the board, on the day Reuters named France’s fiscal position as the weight that sent the euro to a 17 month low of 1.1160 overnight, and the currency stood 0.42 percent lower at 1.1206 on our row at 16:18 GMT, a pairing we record with the attribution as read. The sector board had no red rows: basic resources rose 1.53 percent, banks 1.33 and oil and gas 1.08 at the top, with health care’s 0.28 percent the shallowest climb, on the official 16:00 GMT closing values. On the standing rows at 16:18 GMT, Brent traded 0.99 percent below Friday’s written settlement at 101.24 dollars a barrel on the December contract and WTI 0.89 percent below its own at 90.30, gold eased 0.05 percent to 4,160.10 dollars an ounce after its morning climb, silver rose 1.63 percent, and the dollar index stood 0.29 percent higher at 102.23.

Gainers

Losers

Closing levels for Monday 5 October 2026, gainers then losers, ranked by change. The Stoxx Europe 600 and Euro Stoxx 50 rows are the official 16:00 GMT closing values, read after the dissemination and unchanged across three reads, and the national rows are the exchanges’ own closing boards read between 15:57 and 16:18 GMT; the DAX row is Deutsche Boerse’s own Xetra closing price. Changes are measured against Friday 2 October closes as published in our Europe wrap of that date, and every previous value matches our published levels exactly.

Stoxx supersectors

The eight Stoxx supersectors we track all closed higher on the official 16:00 GMT closing values; the table carries the strongest three and the shallowest three, with automobiles and parts at 0.52 percent and personal and household goods at 0.38 omitted in the middle. Changes are against Friday’s official values as published in our records.

Commodities and currencies

Intraday quotes at 16:18 GMT on Monday 5 October 2026, fixed row order as a deliberate exception to ranking; snapshot levels, not settlements, with changes against Friday’s reference levels as carried in the price feed. The Brent and WTI previous values match Friday’s written settlements of 102.25 and 91.11 dollars, as published in our Commodities Wrap of 2 October 2026, on the December and November contracts. Contract months as the feed displays them.

Asia reference

Carried in full from our Asia Markets Wrap of 5 October 2026, Monday’s closes on the basis published there, every open board higher and ranked by change; mainland China’s two boards and Seoul’s Kospi did not trade, closed for holidays, as disclosed there.

Middle East reference

Carried in full from our Middle East Market Wrap of 5 October 2026, Monday’s closes on the basis published there, gainers then losers as published; the changes are the exchanges’ own closing prints on the bases disclosed there.

Why it matters: A board with one red row tells a narrow story: the advance ran from the Euro Stoxx 50’s 0.06 percent to Madrid’s 1.12 with every sector higher, and the exception was Paris, on the day Reuters named France’s fiscal position as the weight that took the euro to a 17 month low overnight, a pairing we carry with the attribution as read. The sector sweep leaned cyclical, basic resources, banks and oil and gas at the top, while the two crude rows traded below Friday’s written settlements through the European afternoon after opening the week higher in Asia. Across everything we published on Monday, the Taiex’s 2.55 percent jump remains the day’s best row and the CAC 40’s 0.80 percent fall is now the deepest, on our count.

Outlook: Our US wrap follows tonight with Wall Street’s closes, and tonight’s commodities wrap reads the session’s written settlements on the same December and November crude series. This series returns tomorrow with Tuesday’s closes, and Wednesday’s Federal Reserve minutes, as published in our Week Ahead of 3 October, remain the week’s next data test.
