With a net turnover that just exceeded €50m, the General Index closed with marginal profits on Friday, helped by selective buying interest in banks and blue chips.
However, the General Index recorded cumulative losses of 1.01% for week, while banks’ upward reaction on Friday trimmed losses for week to 0.65%.
FTSE20 posted mixed signs on Friday, with ATEbank and Piraeus Bank topping the index, ending at €0.55 and €1.02, up 5.77% and 4.08% respectively.
Market analysts continue to speak of depreciation in terms of turnover, trading volumes, valuations and overall buying interest, making the Greek market vulnerable to both supply urges and possible reversing of investing sentiment.
They also note that as long as there is no positive catalyst in ASE, weakness and downside risk will remain in the market.
