The Athens Stock Exchange completed today's session without taking any additional risk, with sellers—even if imperceptibly—interrupting the five-day upward streak.
However, the Greek market managed to comfortably "hold" the psychological threshold of 1,400 points, while the attention turns to the financial figures of the systemic banks, which play a catalytic role in the current investment psychology.
All of this is taking place in a tumultuous international environment where Donald Trump's election victory, the dissolution of the German government coalition, and tonight's Fed rate announcements are the main talking points.
