ATHEX: Negligible losses for stock market
Tuesday offered few surprises to traders at the Greek stock market, with minimal moves for stocks and low turnover, which led to a negligible drop in the benchmark even though the majority of stocks ended up in the black. The picture is unlikely to change for the rest of the year, with the main index probably hovering above the 900-point mark.
The Athens Exchange (ATHEX) general index closed at 915.51 points, shedding 0.11% from Monday’s 916.48 points. The large-cap FTSE-25 index contracted 0.26% to end at 2,220.36 points.
