For the third consecutive day, controlled profit taking continues on the Athens Stock Exchange, while sellers maintain control of the initiatives.

The Greek market finds it difficult to take risks and prefers the easy... solution of liquidations, not allowing the General Index to approach the target of 1,450 points.

This is despite the satisfactory 9-month corporate figures, which confirm the resilience of profitability and the attractive valuations of many of the listed companies.

Specifically, in the last session of the week, the General Index declined slightly by 0.56% to 1,409.59 points, losing almost eight points compared to Thursday's close (1,417.50 points).

The arc of daily fluctuations extends to five points (from 1,409.59 to 1,414.59 points), with a turnover of 12 million euros, of which 10.3 million euros are pre-agreed packages. 

And let's not forget that the series of FTSE 25 futures contracts (FTSE 25) on the Derivatives Exchange also expires today.
