As buyers maintain their initiatives and banks continue to rise, trading has commenced on Athens Avenue on the final day of the stock market week, with the evening set for Moody’s latest ratings announcement. 

Specifically, the General Index is moving at 1,676.3 points, up by 0.3%, with a turnover of €20 million and a volume of 5 million shares traded.

 The banking index has increased by 0.4% to 1,649 points, while the high-cap FTSE index has strengthened by 0.3% to 4,152 points, and the mid-cap FTSEM index is up by 0.5% to 2,507 points.

For the week, the General Index is closing at +2.7%, primarily due to another strong rally from the banks, which have gained 6.61% since Monday. A significant portion, if not all, of the weekly performance is attributed to Wednesday’s leap, when the market capitalized on an improvement in global investor sentiment, with the General Index recording a gain of 2.58%.
