The positive sentiment abroad and the consecutive 9-year highs of the banks are the main "fuel" of the Greek market, which is trying to exceed 1,510 points, heading towards a new 14-year high.

However, it is clear that a new catalyst is needed for a major upward escape towards 1,550-1,600 points, which will renew foreign interest in Greek assets.

Specifically, in the last session of the week, the General Index recorded a "measured" increase of +0.29% to 1,511.60 points, gaining 4.7 points compared to Thursday's close (1,506.83 points).

The arc of daily fluctuations extends over four points (from 1,507.30 to 1,511.75 points), with a trading turnover of 5 million euros in the first 25 minutes.

The banking index, which is the “protagonist” of 2025 with a cumulative change of +6.9%, continues to accumulate at 9-year highs, to stand at +0.10% and 1,376 points.

Alpha's share rises +0.40% and 1.737 euros, NBG' share follows at +0.32% and 8.186 euros, Piraeus' share is almost unchanged at +0.07% and 4.218 euros, while Eurobank's share declines -0.38% and 2.373 euros.
