The Athens Stock Exchange continues its effort to return to positive territory, although the short-term environment is not conducive to taking any particular risk.

In any case, the slight improvement in sentiment abroad, where everyone is focused on tonight's Federal Reserve decision, helps the Greek market stay above the psychological threshold of 1,450 points.

However, the absence of a dynamic catalyst, which could lead directly to the "tops" of 1,502 points, is more than evident. Of course, analysts are not ruling out one last "gift" from Santa Claus.

Specifically, in the third session of the week, the General Index recorded a subtle increase of 0.07% to 1,453.76 points, gaining one point compared to Tuesday's close (1,452.80 points).

The arc of daily fluctuations extends to six points (from 1,452.55 to 1,458.23 points), with a turnover of 36 million euros, of which 2.6 million euros are pre-agreed packages.

On the board, now, Ethniki and Piraeus "put out" a notable reaction after the two-day negative streak, while Helleniq Energy is also up by almost +1%. On the other hand, the index heavy Coca - Cola retreats below 33 euros.
