Lisbon, Aug. 14, 2026 (Lusa) - The Lisbon stock market continues to trade lower on Friday, under pressure from falling share prices of index heavyweights BCP and EDP.

At around 10.50 am Lisbon time, the benchmark PSI (Portuguese Stock Index) was down slightly by 0.06% to 9,248.49 points, with five companies falling, one unchanged (Sonae at €2.02) and ten rising.

Weighing on the PSI are the heavyweights (large companies whose share prices have a significant impact on the index) BCP and EDP.

BCP is down 0.18% to €1.09 and energy firm EDP is down 0.50% to €4.53.

Also down are EDP Renewables (-1.01% to €13.7), CTT – Correios de Portugal (-0.63% to €6.31) and REN (-0.56% to €3.53).

Meanwhile, oil company Galp is helping to prevent further losses on the PSI, rising 1.22% to €20.71.

Also on the rise are Ibersol (1.73% to €9.97), NOS (up 1.12% to €4.85), Semapa (up 0.74% to €20.35), Corticeira Amorim (up 0.44% to €6.79), Jerónimo Martins (up 0.41% to €17.27) and Navigator (up 0.25% to €3.24).

Altri (up 0.11% to €4.74), Teixeira Duarte (up 0.10% to €0.49) and Mota-Engil (up 0.09% to €4.54) posted slight gains.

On Thursday, the Lisbon stock market closed lower, with the PSI index falling by 0.21% to 9,254.47 points, following the downward trend seen across the rest of Europe.

Today, however, the main European stock markets are trading mixed, with analysts suggesting that European indices are, on the one hand, benefiting from gains by technology companies and, on the other, being penalised by the resumption of the upward trend in oil prices (Brent is trading today at around $89).
