Athens Stock Exchange closes with 0.40% loss amid high trading volume
The Athens Stock Exchange closed with slight losses, as the General Index dropped 0.40% to 2,687.91 points. Despite a positive start, the market failed to maintain the psychological threshold of 2,700 points.
Trading volume was high, exceeding 540 million euros, driven by portfolio rebalancing ahead of the Greek market's transition to developed market status. The FTSE/XA Large Cap index fell 0.43%, while the banking index faced significant pressure, declining by 0.99%.
Notable performers included Optima Bank, which rose 2.70%, Athens International Airport, and Motor Oil. Conversely, Lamda Development saw a 4.17% decline following its semi-annual results, and Viohalco fell 4.03%. JP Morgan maintains an 'Overweight' recommendation for the four systemic Greek banks, citing potential upside.
