The Athens Stock Exchange has recorded a new retreat today (30/10), with the General Index falling again below the 200-day moving average (1,396 points).
The European bearish sentiment, which has "clipped" this year's performance to +8%, prevents the Greek market from continuing yesterday's upward reaction. Instead, it remains mired in stagnation and volatility.
As such, the 9-month corporate numbers seem to be the last possible way out for buyers, who see the current environment as not conducive to taking unnecessary risk ahead of the US presidential election.
Specifically, in the second session of the week, the General Index declined by 0.81% to 1,389.90 points, losing at least 11 points compared to Tuesday's close (1,401.18 points).
The arc of daily fluctuations extends to 13 points (from 1,389.22 to 1,402.77 points), with a turnover of 34 million euros, of which 6.8 million euros are pre-agreed packages.
The banking index, despite yesterday's upward reaction, returns to the red, retreating -1.26% and 1,156 points. As a result, the distance from this year's highs (1,354 points) is more than -14%.
Eurobank's share slides to -1.87% and 1.892 euros, Alpha's share follows at -1.79% and 1.3965 euros, Piraeus' share trades at -1.65% and 3.513 euros, while ΝΒG share falls to -0.83% and 7.204 euros.
In the high-cap index (-0.90% and 3,354 points), Motor Oil shares, despite a 0.3 euro advance, retreat to -2.4% and 19.6 euros, marking a new 22-month low. Hellaktor and Titan retract by at least 2%, with shares of Coca-Cola, Helleniq Energy, Metlen, Viohalco, Aegean, PPC, ELVALHALKOR and OTE trailing at least -1%. Characteristic of the breadth of the decline is the fact that only two "heavyweights" (Sarantis and Terna Energy) have so far escaped the "red".
As for the mid-cap index (-1.01% and 2,269 points), Intrakat's share stands out negatively at -5.1% and EUR 4.8, closing the discount to the price of the launched EUR 200 million AMK. ADMIE, Intracom, Profile and Lavipharm, for their part, retreat by around 2%, while the shares of Fourlis, Quest, Trade Estates, ABAX, AXAE, INTralot, Kri Kri, PPA and Technical Olympics are down by at least 1%. Today, meanwhile, the curtain falls on the trading of the Attica Bank option, which is priced at 77 euros (-57%).
