Athens Stock Exchange: Sellers take the reins

The reins of the Greek stock market, which is trying to maintain levels, but with most of its securities in negative territory, has now passed to sellers. The general index recorded losses of 0.19% at 1,134.33 points, with the turnover at 45 million euros.

“Just looking… not buying”. That’s the phrase on the lips of the market today, which sees the broad index eyeing the next milestone of 1,141 points (high for the year), but in no mood to break it. After all, it will first have to manage the profit-taking moves that are coming after yesterday’s rise.

However, the medium-term picture on the board remains excellent, which is easily inferred by observing most stocks, at least the index-heavy and mid-cap ones. In fact, the corporate results continue optimistically for the first quarter as well, the turnover stable and decent just before the elections.

On the board

In terms of securities, Sarantis, Piraeus and Autohellas are under the greatest pressure, while Titan, OPAP, PPA, Alpha Bank, Aegean, Mytilinaios, ELHA, GEK Terna, PPC, Terna Energy, Hellenic Petroleum and Eurobank are moving negatively. On the other hand, Jumbo, Ellaktor, Biohalco, Motor Oil, OTE, Lambda, Quest, National Bank and Coca Cola are moving positively.
