Dutch shares are among the top performing European shares with the Netherland's benchmark index, the AEX, gaining 31% year-to-date on the surge of semiconductors stocks. AEX is beating the French CAC 40 (+27.8%), the Italian IT40 (+23.2%), the German DE40 (+17.6%) and the EU50 indices (+22.27%) so far this year. The index is composed of a maximum of 25 of the most frequently traded securities on the Euronext Amsterdam.
Spearheading the index's stellar performance this year are shares of ASM International (Semiconductors, +140%), IMCD (Specialty Chemicals, +101%), ASML Holding (Semiconductors, +91%) and BE Semiconductor Industries (Semiconductors, +74%). The imbalance in semiconductor trade due to the global supply chip shortages have lifted almost every semiconductor stock on the planet, including the Dutch ones.
