AEX Index — Level, Chart & Constituents

What the AEX measures

The AEX is a stock market index that tracks the performance of the largest and most frequently traded companies listed on Euronext Amsterdam. As a barometer of the Dutch equity market, it reflects the collective price movement of its constituent firms and is widely followed as a proxy for the broader European business environment.

Key numbers explained

• The current index level of 1,107.93 points represents the weighted aggregate price of the AEX constituents at this moment; a higher level generally means the component stocks are trading at higher prices than the base period.
• Today's low and high of 1,105.21 and 1,113.78 show the range the index traded within the session, indicating intraday volatility.
• The price change today of -0.27% tells you the index closed slightly lower than its prior session close.
• The 52-week low of 916.79 and 52-week high of 1,124.13 mark the lowest and highest levels the AEX has reached over the past year, framing where the current level sits within that range.
• The index is denominated in EUR, so its level is expressed in euros and is influenced by the price movements of the underlying stocks rather than currency conversion.

Recent news

• European indexes have edged higher at open, suggesting a tentative positive start to the trading session across the region.

What to watch

Investors often monitor macroeconomic data releases, central bank policy signals, and corporate earnings reports, as these factors can drive broad equity moves. Sector rotation, geopolitical developments, and changes in investor risk appetite also tend to affect European indexes like the AEX. For context on other major European benchmarks, see the Swiss Market Index (SMI), the CAC 40, the FTSE MIB, the FTSE 100, the Euro Stoxx 50, the STOXX Europe 600, and the IBEX 35.
