Dublin — Ireland’s ISEQ All-Share ended lower on Thursday, easing 0.25% to 12,534.60 as investors digested fresh inflation data and a softer European risk tone ahead of U.S. economic releases. The close aligns with Euronext’s official end‑of‑day readout and local market wrap reporting. [1]

Macro driver: inflation edges higher
Ireland’s Consumer Price Index rose 2.9% year‑on‑year in October, up from 2.7% in September, according to the Central Statistics Office (CSO) release published today. The harmonised HICP measure used across the EU increased to 2.8%. The modest re‑acceleration keeps price growth near the highest since March 2024 and fed into rate‑sensitive pockets of the market. [9]
Context: still near record territory
Despite today’s dip, the ISEQ remains close to early‑November highs after a strong autumn run. On November 4, the index notched a record closing level of 12,122.10, led by heavyweight financials. Gains since then have been extended, with the market consolidating around the mid‑12,000s in recent sessions. [10]
What moved sentiment
- Europe’s risk tone softened into the close as broader continental benchmarks slipped while investors awaited U.S. jobs data and processed a mixed corporate tape. That backdrop bled into Dublin’s session. [11]
- Domestic prices running hotter than September—particularly in grocery categories—kept focus on consumer‑facing margins and rate sensitivity, amplifying the underperformance in homebuilders and building materials. [12]

The takeaway
The ISEQ’s 0.25% pullback reflects a gentle de‑risking day rather than a change in trend. Rising October inflation and a weaker pan‑European close nudged rate‑sensitive and domestically exposed names lower, while select cyclicals and travel held up. With the index still hovering close to record territory, attention turns to incoming U.S. data and whether price pressures in Ireland continue to stabilise into year‑end. [19]
