The Athens Stock Exchange completed the third consecutive negative session today (17/6), with sellers maintaining the "reins", leading the General Index to a new two-month low.

Indeed, intra-day, the Greek market was below the psychological threshold of 1,400 points, which caused an immediate reaction from buyers, who prevented (for now) the loss of critical levels.

In any case, however, the political uncertainty in France continues to cause jitters in Athens, which is finding it difficult to self-regulate and diversify, despite the positive news at the listed level.

More specifically, during today's session, the General Index recorded a new 0.20% decline to 1,404.11 points, losing almost three points compared to Friday's close (1,406.91 points).
