The Amsterdam AEX has it completely caught up again and rose to 921 points on the early Tuesday morning. With that, the AEX Koers approaches its all-time high of more than 952 points and the optimism starts to return to the Damrak.
AEX follows Example American stock exchange
With the rise today, the AEX follows the example of the American stock exchange, which even managed to close with an all-time high yesterday.
It seems that investors have faith in the last months of 2025. That probably also has to do with the fact that the US central bank will implement its first interest rate reduction this week.
The expectation is at the moment that they will come up with a series of interest rates. That is special, because economic growth still seems to be well above 2 percent.
The ironic thing is that Finance Minister Scott Bessent brags about this on social media, while the Trump government on the other hand is screaming for interest rates. Because why are they necessary if the economy performs so well?
Disappointment is possible
It could just be that the US Central Bank comes to the conclusion based on the solid economic data that not so many interest rates are needed at all.
Last week the core inflation fell at 3.1 percent and with an economic growth of towards the 3 percent, it seems unnecessary to implement multiple interest rates.
Which, by the way, does not mean that a scenario with multiple interest rates would be pretty positive for the AEX. Yet it could count on that scenario could lead to disappointment.
Especially since it is becoming increasingly difficult with the incoming economic data to sell those interest rates.
