Stellantis Shares Surge 7% at Opening, Boosted by Iran-USA Ceasefire

Market Relief Following Ceasefire Announcement

The announcement by Donald Trump of a ceasefire agreement with Iran on April 8 immediately brought relief to the stock markets. The prospect of reopening the Strait of Hormuz, through which about one-fifth of the world's oil supply passes, caused Brent crude to drop 15% to around 93 dollars a barrel. For a group like Stellantis, whose supply chains and production costs are directly exposed to energy prices, this easing is a tangible support factor.

The CAC 40 advanced 4.28% in session, reaching 8,246.90 points, driving up all industrial and cyclical stocks. On the Paris stock exchange, Schneider Electric advanced by 8.15% and Airbus by 6.33%, illustrating a generalized sector movement. Stellantis's rise brings its weekly performance to +11.63%, although the stock remains down nearly 27% over three months and more than 18% over a year, indicating a still partial recovery after a long correction phase.

Technical Analysis of Stellantis NV

Graphically, the price of Stellantis NV has risen above the upper boundary of the Bollinger Bands, set at €6.45, which constitutes a potential short-term overbought signal. Moreover, the stock has just crossed its 50-day moving average (€6.63), a closely watched technical threshold that can now serve as the first support in case of consolidation. The nearest resistance is at €6.94, less than 2.5% above the current price.

Two major events are scheduled in the company's calendar in the coming weeks. The annual general meeting is scheduled for April 14, followed by the publication of the first quarter 2026 results, scheduled for April 30. These events could contribute to volatility on the stock, especially since it is already established at 15.20% over a month. The pronounced gap between the current price and the 200-day moving average, located at €8.19, underscores the extent of the journey still required to regain levels from the end of the previous year.
