Italy 40
The Italy 40 is a tradeable market from Capital.com, enabling you to take a position on the price of the 40 most capitalised Italian companies.
Our Italy 40 market represents the Italian stock market index which tracks the performance of the top 40 blue-chip companies listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, or Borsa Italiana. It uses a market capitalisation weighting system, meaning its most capitalised constituent companies appear higher in the index and have more of an influence over the overall index price. However, liquidity, free float and eligibility criteria are some other factors that can determine the order of companies within the list.
As a closely-followed index, the Italy 40 is often seen as a proxy for Italian stock market health and the domestic economy.
Some of the largest companies in the Italy 40 index have included Ferrari, Enel, UniCredit and ENI. Such companies are mainstays at the top of the index, although lesser-capitalised companies are more likely to change position in the index, or even drop out to be replaced by new stocks that have become sufficiently capitalised to join.
