The Stock Exchange is on a shared board

In the midst of opposing forces, the Athens Stock Exchange is balancing today, with the meeting giving more waiting and adjustment of portfolios and less tension.

In particular, the General Index records gains of 0.14% at 868.98 points, while the turnover is at 38 million euros and the volume at 12 million units. The FTSE 25 also increased by 0.17%, to 2,087.37 points, while the banking index lost 0.56% to 563.47 points.

The question that dominates the market these days is whether the buyers have finally set limits on the power of sellers at the level of 840-850 units. That is, if the fall of the market is exhausted at these levels, then it is good to have some placements with a horizon, even a small one.

However, the chances are not in favor of the positive scenario, ie the exhaustion of the downward movement, as no matter how hard he tried for three days, the general index did not break the resistance of 865 – 870 points. And this weakness is taken by most analysts as a sign that purchasing forces are still reluctant to drive the market higher.

In the meantime, no one knows what effect the change in the policy of the European Central Bank may have on Greek assets, with caution being maintained. Based on the outlook for inflation, the ECB is preparing to start raising interest rates in July. Its first move is to raise the deposit rate from -0.5% to + 1.5% by the end of next year, which is a higher level than what is priced in the markets, according to analysts.
