The Athens Stock Exchange attempts to break the five-day downward streak and record the first positive session of the week today (4/10).

However, the upward effort is not particularly convincing, with the Greek market remaining below 1,450 points, trapped in the geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East, which "trims" investor visibility.

At the same time, the fallout from the recent National Bank placement continues to affect Athens, which is down more than 3% over the last five days, bringing this year's yield down to +10%.

Specifically, in the 5th session of the week, the General Index is up slightly by 0.42% to 1,424.38 points, gaining about 6.5 points compared to Thursday's close (1,418.42 points).

The arc of the daily fluctuations extends to six points (from 1,418.83 to 1,424.51 points), with the turnover of the trading volume at 3.5 million in the first 15 minutes.

The NBG share is unchanged at 7.55 euros, Piraeus' share strengthens +0.90% and 3.72 euros, Alpha's share trades +0.77% and 1.496 euros, while Eurobank's share follows at +0.31% and 1.956 euros.

In the high-cap index (+0.31% and 3,441 points), Jumbo's shares are dynamically gaining +2.2% and 25.6 euros, recovering some of the recent losses. Titan's shares follow at +1% and 34.4 euros, with Sarantis, OTE, and Viohalco gaining up to 0.7%. On the flip side, Autohellas shares retreat to -2.2% and EUR 10.6.

As for the mid-cap index (+0.07% and 2,294 points), PPA shares stand out positively at +1.6% and widen to 28 euros, bridging the gap from the multi-year high of 28.8 euros. Kri Kri shares also rise +1.1%, returning to the 13 euro area. EXAE, AVAX, Technical Olympiaki, and Lavipharm follow at +0.5%. On the other hand, Optima's share slides -0.9% and 12.7 euros.
