The Athens Stock Exchange completed its fourth consecutive negative session today (27/6), which folded at the critical support of 1,400 points, recording a new 2-month low.

The prolonged uncertainty abroad and the absence of domestic catalysts are the main factors behind this downward movement, which has led to a -7% decline from the year's highs (1,502 points on 20/5).

And any loss of 1,400 points is likely to bring 1,380–1,360 points to the fore, testing the strength of the long-term trend, which to date remains positive.

More specifically, in today's session, the General Index declined mildly by 0.41% to end at the daily low of 1,400.43 points, losing about six points compared to Wednesday's close (1,406.24 points).

The arc of daily fluctuations was fixed at 11 points (from 1,400.41 to 1,411.17 points), with trading turnover at 127 million euros, of which 35 million euros were pre-agreed packages.
