The Stock Exchange finds international support for the 890 units

The Scottish shower, with a positive sign, continues on the Athens Stock Exchange, which, although it shows that it is struggling to cover the lost ground that Omicron of Covid 19 deprived of, nevertheless manages to see today 890 units.

In particular, the General Index records gains of 1.06% at 887.64 points, while the turnover is at 5.1 million euros and the volume at 2 million units. The FTSE 25 also rose 1.19% to 2,135.85 points, while the banking index gained 2.32% to 576.88 points.

With the banking industry today showing a different face, the market is moving with profits exceeding 10 points, approaching 890 points. The cushion therefore from the 200-day mobile, ie at 867 units, becomes even bigger, giving an air of relief to a market that if it loses the level will be significantly complicate the finish of the year.

A year that as everything shows is stigmatized by a sideways movement that is difficult to change, as while most long believed that the world has got rid of the pandemic, in recent months are with their backs to the wall due to uncertainty. And in this environment, clearly the risk-taking mood is negligible, although a key component if the market wants to close the year close to the 12-month highs.

With a tone from abroad

On a day-to-day basis now, the international climate is also a major helper in the market growth effort today, with investors appearing less anxious about the Omicron mutation as experts appear cautiously optimistic. Also, the first estimates are that the existing vaccines offer some protection against the last mutation.

According to some analysts, the corrections to Covid-19 are no longer expected to be so strong that vaccines provide some basic protection to keep the health care system at bay. Only if the vaccine or drugs coming from Merck and Pfizer are not able to curb the virus could we talk about a declining market.

On the board

On the board now, Piraeus, Alpha Bank and Ethniki are the ones that stand out with their more than 2% profits, while more than 1% is the rise in Coca Cola, Eurobank, ELHA, Viohalko, Titan, IPTO, Mytrilineos, PPC, HELEX and OPAP.

Motor Oil, Hellenic Petroleum, Terna Energy, Ellactor, Jumbo, Sarantis and PPA are moving slightly upwards, while EYDAP, GEK Terna, Lambda, OTE and Aegean are moving slightly downwards.
