The Athens Stock Exchange is showing moderate losses today (2/7), with sellers halting Monday's upward reaction and absorbing part of the significant gains.

Thus, the Greek market remains within touching distance of the 1,400 support levels, while everyone is counting down to the second round of the French parliamentary elections on Sunday.

At the same time, on the domestic front, attention is gradually turning towards the financial figures for the second quarter and the new dividend payouts, which will fill the pockets of shareholders.

Against this backdrop, the General Index is down slightly by 0.45% to 1,414.47 points, losing about 6.5 points compared to Monday's close (1,420.83 points).

The arc of the daily fluctuations extends over five points (from 1,413.95 to 1,418.86 points), with the turnover of the transactions ranging at just 22 million euros, of which 1.1 million euros are pre-agreed packages.

On the board, now, banks are retreating towards lower levels, with Ethnik and Alpha standing out at -1.5%. Cenergy, for its part, is retracing from recent record highs, while ABAX shares are rallying more than 3%, thanks to the new project in Iraq.

The share of National Bank slides to -1.56% and 7.82 euros, the share of Alpha Bank is limited to -1.73% and 1.5635 euros, the share of Eurobank decreases to -0.38% and 2.089 euros, and the share of Piraeus is trading at -0.56% and 3.57 euros.
