Eurobank emerged as the main market supporter at the start of the trading week, as the resumption of trading in its new shares following last week’s suspension brought renewed momentum to the Athens Exchange. This helped offset negative signals from international markets and enabled the benchmark index to end Monday’s session with slight gains. Turnover was relatively healthy for mid-December levels, while investors focused on selective stock picking rather than adopting a clear overall market direction.
General index closed at 2,107.43 points, adding 0.15% to Friday’s 2,104.21 points. The large-cap FTSE-25 index expanded 0.12%, ending at 5,321.85 points. The banks index stayed put, as Eurobank jumped 4.60%, Optima earned 0.25% and Alpha climbed just 0.03%, while Piraeus fell 2.16%, National gave up 1.85% and Bank of Cyprus lost 0.50%. In total 59 stocks boasted gains, 47 posted losses and 16 remained unchanged. Turnover amounted to €198.7mn, up from last Friday’s €163.9mn.
Not much to change as selective interest is expected to balance the market. Rotation in place, focus on upcoming Central Banks decisions.
