Today (24/5), the Athens Stock Exchange showed completely controlled losses, with investors continuing to make this year's gains after the recent climb to 1,500 points.

Despite the reasonable tendency to assimilate the acquisitions and "digest" the 13-year highs, the Greek market found the necessary supports, not allowing a generalized folding and "braking" the intention to liquidate.

On the other hand, of course, volatility remained dominant for another day, indicating the inability/unwillingness of buyers to take on additional investment risk.

More specifically, during today's session, the General Index declined slightly by 0.27% to 1,477.69 points, losing just four points compared to Thursday's close (1,481.65 points).

The arc of daily fluctuations was fixed at 11 points (from 1,469.72 to 1,481.11 points), with a turnover of 79 million euros, of which 5 million euros related to pre-agreed packages.

On the board, now, banks were mixed, with Alpha losing 1.1% and Eurobank gaining 0.8%. Beyond that, OPAP and Helleniq Energy gained 1% and 2%, respectively, while Motor Oil corrected from its historic highs of EUR28.5.
