The Athens Stock Exchange continues the stagnation of the last few days, which for the time being does not seem willing to "break" the narrow limit of the current fluctuation.
Thus, the Greek market remains stuck in the 1,425-1,437 area, unable to break through the 1,440 resistance and postponing a possible move towards the year highs of 1,502.
This, despite the fact that the first half corporate figures offer the opportunity for selective stops, in the context of an informal rotation. Tomorrow, meanwhile, we have the restructuring of the MSCI indices (Motor Oil's exit from Standard Greece).
In this environment, in the 4th session of the week, the General Index is up marginally by 0.15% to 1,427.51 points, gaining two points compared to Wednesday's close (1,425.36 points).
The arc of the daily fluctuations extends over three points (from 1,425.73 to 1,428.70 points), with the turnover of the trading volume hovering at just 2.5 million in the first 15 minutes.
