Today (8/1) the Athens Stock Exchange is assimilating the recent multi-year highs, although the liquidations so far prove to be completely controlled.

Besides, the return of sellers to the “wheel” (for the first time in 2025), which is a result of the need for “profit taking” on the one hand and the ongoing international volatility on the other, does not negate the positive climate of the last few days.

Thus, the Greek market remains firmly in the region of 1,500 points and at the highest levels since April 2011, with a further climb towards 1,600 points being the main objective for the rest of the year.

Specifically, in the second session of the week, the General Index declined slightly by -0.30% to 1,502.08 points, losing 4.5 points compared to Tuesday's close (1,506.61 points).

The arc of daily fluctuations extends to five points (from 1,500.71 to 1,505.08 points), with the turnover of transactions ranging at 6.2 million in the first 15 minutes.

The banking index, which yesterday reached a 9-year high of 1,351 points, consolidates the remarkable gains of 2025 (+5%), retreating -0.17% and 1,349 points.

NBG's shares narrow to -0.32% and 7.976 euros, Eurobank shares follow at -0.30% and 2.327 euros, Piraeus shares trade at -0.12% and 4.145 euros, while Alpha shares fall to -0.15% and 1.70 euros.
