The rise is strong at this time in the Greek stock market, which now “sees” the levels of 1,100 units with claims, with the help from almost the entire board. The general index recorded gains of 2.48% at 1,094.65 points, with the turnover at 54 million euros.
The good news for the market has not only to do with the rise in valuations but also with the significant increase in trading activity which has firmly established itself above €100m, even if it is temporarily coming from specific securities. Thus, the bullish momentum remains strong and is now eyeing the new resistance level located at the 1,100 mark.
