Stagnation prevails today (10/1) on the Athens Stock Exchange, with investors making cautious and measured moves.

Of course, this does not prevent the Greek market from continuing to show off above 1,500 points, the highest levels since April 2011, confirming the positive sentiment of January.

On the other hand, however, the prolonged uncertainty prevailing abroad is putting obstacles in the way of Athens' further climb, despite attractive valuations and optimistic assessments.

Specifically, in the last session of the week, the General Index rose imperceptibly by 0.08% to 1,512.10 points, gaining one point compared to Thursday's close (1,510.93 points).

The arc of the daily fluctuations extends over four points (from 1,508.42 to 1,512.20 points), with the turnover of the transactions ranging at 6 million euros in the first 15 minutes.
