The Greek stock market is making gains today (24/9), which continues on an upward trajectory after Monday's buying spree. Although they have downshifted compared to the opening, buyers are keeping the reins and contact with the 1,450 mark. Sentiment abroad is favorable, as some indices on Wall Street (Dow Jones, S&P 500) and Europe (DAX) are "flirting" with new highs.
Specifically, in Athens, the General Index is up +0.47% and is trading at 1,449.34 points, moving between 1,445.25 (low of the day) and 1,452.32 points (high of the day).
After breaking through 1,435 points, which had proved to be a resistant resistance point, the target is now to break above 1,450 points. At the same time, investors started to become active, as reflected in yesterday's increase in turnover. Trading activity reached 129 million euros, above the 100-day average of 117 million euros, with systemic banks accounting for over 45% of the transaction value. It is also worth noting the window dressing movements in investment portfolios, as we are in the last week of the 9-month period.
