The Athens Stock Exchange attempts to manage the pressures of the international environment after the sell-off yesterday in the US.

Specifically, the General Index moves 1,454.1 points with -0.86% and turnover at €10 million, while 2.4 million pieces have been traded.

The banking index leads the decline with -2% at 1,291 points; the FTSE is down 1.1% at 3,535 points; and the mid-cap FTSEM is at 2,311 points with -0.65%.

After two down days, most notably yesterday (-0.91%) the Athens Stock Exchange is looking to get back into positive territory but is facing an even tougher international environment in the wake of Wall Street's heavy losses yesterday with the Nasdaq in its worst session since 2022.

THE PICTURE ON BOARD

Eurobank is down 4.8% after the cut-off, with Piraeus at -1.7% and Alpha around -2%, while Ethniki attempts to diversify with -0.1%.

Slightly up on the FTSE is only Aegean, and that by just +0.1%. On the other hand, sellers again today are PPC at -1.5% and OPAP at -1.25%, with GEK Terna at -0.9%. Similarly, Metlen is also moving -0.7%, with the market showing that it has discounted its "explosive" numbers. Motor Oil is at -0.6%, and OTE and Coca-Cola are limiting the pressure to -0.3%.

In the lower layers, Attica Bank is attempting to move higher at +3.6%.
