ArcelorMittal Shares Up 3.78% at Midday Following CAC 40 Reversal
ArcelorMittal SA is showing one of the strongest gains in the SBF 120 this Monday at midday, with its shares up 3.78% to 43.60 euros. The steelmaker is benefiting from the bullish turnaround observed in European markets after a morning marked by sharp geopolitical tensions. The stock, which had fallen by 2.53% over the past seven days, is thus regaining ground.
Market Reversal Boosts ArcelorMittal's Shares
ArcelorMittal SA's shares are trading at 43.60 euros during the session, up from 42.01 euros at last Friday's close. This surge comes as the CAC 40, up 0.61% in the session, made a spectacular turnaround after losing more than 2% in the morning. The postponement of US military strikes against Iran and the resumption of dialogue between Washington and Tehran helped markets recover. The Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global oil transit, was at the center of tensions that weighed on prices early in the day. Meanwhile, the SBF 120 is up 0.63% in the session. Over the last three months, the Luxembourg-based group's stock has performed +13.72%, and +49.73% over one year, illustrating the revaluation momentum of the stock since spring 2025. The first quarter 2026 results, expected on April 30, will be a next milestone to assess the operational trajectory of the steelmaker.
Technical Analysis Reveals Fragile Configuration Despite Today's Rise
While today's rise is notable, technical analysis reveals a still fragile configuration for the stock. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 26, a level indicating an oversold zone, meaning potentially excessive selling pressure in recent sessions. This positioning could precede a corrective rebound, which today's session seems to partially illustrate. Moreover, the stock price is significantly below its 50-day moving average, located at 48.39 euros, indicating an active short-term bearish trend. The technical support identified at 42.01 euros, corresponding to Friday's closing price, served as the starting point for this Monday's rebound. The major resistance is at 56.92 euros, a level more than 30% above the current price. Concurrently, other industrial stocks listed in Paris are also recording significant gains in the session, such as Schneider Electric (+2.91%) and Airbus (+2.57%), confirming a broader sector rebound.
