Morning five: BUX rally, Moldova and industrial software

1. The BUX rose 1.32% to 141,895.61 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.05% to a record 27,477.31. All four Hungarian blue chips advanced, while the CAC 40 closed lower in Europe.

2. The EU disbursed €157 million to Moldova after confirming 18 completed reforms. Performance-based payments have therefore reached about €661 million.

3. New conditions for 100 km/h bus permits take effect on 10 October. Vehicles older than 15 years may receive two-year renewals after an additional expert inspection.

4. Schneider Electric plans to buy PTC for $22.6 billion. The all-cash deal still needs shareholder and regulatory approval, with closing planned for the third quarter of 2027.

5. EU industrial producer prices rose 1.9% year on year in August. The Eurostat release was published on Monday but remains important context for Hungarian industrial costs.

This roundup was prepared after checking the EU–Moldova statement and the other primary sources. The next editorial checkpoint is the afternoon round, prioritising sections still uncovered and genuinely new developments.
