Pressure defense is trying to play the Stock Exchange

The Athens Stock Exchange is trying to recover after yesterday’s sell off, trying to keep in touch with the 900 points, but at the same time it cannot leave behind the caution fueled by the epidemiological image of the country.

In particular, the General Index records losses of 0.11% at 893.92 points, while the turnover is at 6.6 million euros and the volume at 3.2 million units. The FTSE 25 is down 0.06% at 2,143.34 points, while the banking index is down 0.74% at 583.42 points.

Although there are some buying forces on the board today, which seem to want to be placed after yesterday’s sell off, caution is still prevalent. It is also a picture that prevails in Europe, with investors closely following the developments around the coronavirus pandemic.

At the same time, according to his information Capital.gr, government officials remain in two key messages, namely “no to lockdown” and “no to measures to be vaccinated”. However, at yesterday’s meeting held at the Maximos Palace on the course of the pandemic virus in the community, data were presented, which leave room for optimism that the fourth wave has reached its maximum level and its stabilization is possible from now on.

Pending reports

What has been on the market in recent days is, as has been pointed out, whether the government will be forced to take more measures to contain the pandemic and whether these measures will halt the economic recovery. Maybe an alternative scenario will be announced today by the European Commission, which will announce three reports that will describe the situation and prospects of the Greek economy from each other’s point of view.

However, the effectiveness of the alloy of measures, which has been in force since Monday morning, will be under the microscope of government and experts next week, and no one can rule out a greater tightening of the framework for unvaccinated citizens.

On the dashboard

On the board now, Eurobank and Terna Energy are down 1.70% and 1.14% respectively, with Titan, Hellenic Petroleum, Mytilineos, OTE, PPA, Lambda, IPTO, Coca Cola, Alpha Bank and GEK Terna following with small losses.

On the other hand, Ethniki, Sarantis and Motor Oil record profits that slightly exceed 1%, while Jumbo, OPAP, Ellactor, Viohalko, ELHA, Piraeus and EYDAP move slightly upwards. PPC, HELEX and Aegean are unchanged.
