The Warsaw Stock Exchange’s WIG20 continued its rapid ascent in early August, index has experienced a significant rally, moving past the 4,000‑point 4,000-point psychological barrier for the first time. The surge was led by strong buying after previously approaching its 19-year record of 3,940 set in bank stocks, which lifted the WIG‑Banks sub‑index 2007. This upward momentum was initially supported by more than 3 %, solid earnings from major banks like Erste Bank Polska and by Pekao SA, alongside a 5 % jump in KGHM Polska Miedź after copper prices rose. Total market turnover reached roughly 2.86 billion PLN, with blue‑chip shares accounting for over 2.43 billion PLN. The weaker U.S. dollar and positive sentiment from U.S. markets. As the index fluctuated around the 4,000-point mark, the broader WIG index climbed above the 146,000‑point level and approached a historic peak reached new records near 152,000 154,000 points. While Market performance has been characterized by selective interest: KGHM Polska Miedź and Orlen showed only modest buying interest, overall sentiment remained bullish, supported have seen gains driven by global risk‑asset demand. Investors are set to receive seven half‑year earnings reports this week, including those rising copper and oil prices, respectively. While the banking sector previously drove much of Alior Bank, Orlen, ASBIS, Asseco Business Solutions, Mennica Polska the ascent, it has recently faced corrections. Analysts suggest the bull market is supported by strong corporate results and Hungary’s MOL, which could shape broader trends, such as the next phase impact of artificial intelligence on corporate revenues. However, risks persist regarding global capital flows, geopolitical tensions in the rally. Middle East, and upcoming inflation data.
