The Athens Stock Exchange is recording controlled losses today (12/11), with sellers controlling the board, under the weight of the broader overseas retracement.

The Greek market, however, remains above 1,420 points, just shy of the simple moving average of the last 200 days (1,425 points) as a result of the recent banking rally (+8.3%).

However, the critical issue for Athens is to find the necessary "fuel" that will lead to a break of 1,450 points, paving the way for convergence with the "tops" of 1,502 points.

Specifically, in the second session of the week, the General Index declined slightly by 0.30% to 1,424.07 points, losing about 4.5 points compared to Monday's close (1,428.40 points).

The arc of daily fluctuations extends over four points (from 1,422.02 to 1,426.77 points), with a turnover of 41 million euros, of which 3.5 million euros are pre-agreed packages.

Piraeus shares retreat to -0.75% and 3.828 euros, National Bank shares fall to -0.80% and 7.47 euros, Eurobank shares trade at -0.49% and 2.025 euros, while Alpha shares strengthen to +1.56% and 1.598 euros.

In the high-cap index (-0.46% and 3,461 points), Coca - Cola shares, after yesterday's 5-year highs, correct to -0.9% and 34.1 euros.
