Athens Stock Exchange edges above 2,400 points amid geopolitical uncertainty

The Athens Stock Exchange’s General Index traded just above the 2,400‑point level, registering a modest gain of about 0.3% to roughly 2,381 points. Turnover reached €162 million with a volume of 19.4 million shares, reflecting steady investor activity despite heightened Middle‑East tensions that keep oil prices volatile.

Market participants noted a mixed backdrop: lower Brent crude at around $94 a barrel eased some pressure, while upcoming corporate actions—such as a bond issue by Lamda Development, developments at Attica Stores, and a capital increase at ADME—are expected to shape trading in June. Greek listed firms like DEI, Helleniq Energy, and Motor Oil posted modest gains, whereas GEK Ternas and Titan fell.

Overall, the market appears to be balancing profit‑taking and rebalancing moves in MSCI indices, maintaining a cautious but resilient stance amid the geopolitical backdrop.
