Sellers came out as winners in today's session on the Athens Stock Exchange, as investors ignored the recovery signals of the European markets, which returned dynamically to the green.

The Greek market, in this way, continued its controlled profit taking, driving the General Index below 1,420 points and absorbing the gains made until recently in November, which temporarily reached +2.5%.

However, concerns about the "picture" of Athens remained widespread, given that positive corporate figures do not provide the necessary "fuel", not contributing to the improvement of this year's yields, which are "stuck" at single-digit levels.

The banking index continued its correction for the 2nd consecutive day, as it was down -1.34% and 1,213 points, despite the positive momentum of strong earnings and upbeat reports.

Piraeus shares narrowed to -2.34% and EUR 3.76, NBG shares followed at -1.75% and EUR 7.206, Eurobank shares traded at -1.43% and EUR 1.9715, while Alpha shares rose slightly to +0.12% and EUR 1.6065.

In the high-cap index (-0.44% and 3,435 points), OTE's shares retreated significantly to -3% and 14.7 euros, against the positive Q3 figures. Jumbo's shares also declined by 0.8%, while Lamda Development's shares followed at -0.69% and EUR 7.20. On the other hand, Titan Cement's shares soared +3.6% to 35.2 euros, reaching an all-time high of 35.7 euros. Cenergy, Helleniq Energy, Viohalco, AIA and Motor Oil gained at least 1%, with PPC shares rising +0.4% to +0.4% and 12.3 euros, taking support from satisfactory third quarter earnings.
