The AEX index opened higher on Monday, buoyed by strong performance in the semiconductor and steel sectors.
Dutch equities started the session in positive territory as investors rotated into technology and industrial names, signaling renewed risk appetite in European markets.
Chip stocks emerged as the primary catalyst for the rally, with semiconductor names leading the advance.
The sector's strength was mirrored by gains in steel producers, suggesting a broader bid for cyclical assets.
This rotation reflects a shift in sentiment toward growth-oriented and industrially linked equities after a period of consolidation.
Construction companies also saw increased trading activity, with builders attracting notable investor interest.
