ATHEX headed north yesterday for a 5th session in a row to a new multiyear high, in line with the European stock markets. In more detail, the General Index rose by 0.62% at 1,882.83 units (FTSE Large Cap: +0.58%, FTSE Mid Cap: +1.39%, Banks Index: +0.34%) and the traded value was shaped at EUR 229.2m, up from Wednesday’s EUR 186.3m.
