![Athens Stock Exchange: Mild pressures spoil the mood](https://www.ot.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Xrimatistirio_ekso-768x431-1.jpg)
Mild pressures are currently manifesting in the Greek stock market, which has not only lost its morning gains, but is now struggling for the sign. The general index recorded losses of 0.01% at 943.76 points, with the turnover at 25 million euros.
Pressures
The market is trying to absorb the pressures that are now manifesting in most of its securities with some support from selected securities, such as Viohalco, but without being able to maintain the upward trajectory it had in the previous three days. Of course, these pressures are also connected to the securing of sufficiently attractive profits that several of its securities are recording, with the market looking for liquidity to test higher levels, and especially the demanding 950 units.
As long as the general indicator remains above 930 points, the trend in the short term remains positive, with the market needing to make some stops before testing 950 points. After all, it also needs to increase its trading rates and overcome the lowest turnover of 50 million euros.
